We Must Not Be Concerned Only With

We Are Taught In An Especial Manner To Pray That God Would Give His Holy Spirit Unto Us, That Through His Aid And Assistance We May Live Unto God In That Holy Obedience Which He Requires At Our Hands.

Christ Is Our Best Friend, And Ere Long Will Be Our Only Friend. I Pray God With All My Heart That I May Be Weary Of Everything Else But Converse And Communion With Him.

He, Then, That Would Really, Thoroughly, And Acceptably Mortify Any Disquieting Lust, Let Him Take Care To Be Equally Diligent In All Parts Of Obedience, And Know That Every Lust, Every Omission Of Duty, Is Burdensome To God, Though But One Is So To Him.

It Being Our Duty To Mortify... We Must Be At Work. He That Is Appointed To Kill An Enemy, If He Leave Striking Before The Other Ceases Living, Does But Half His Work.

A Man Preacheth That Sermon Only Well Unto Others Which Preacheth Itself In His Own Soul. And He That Doth Not Feed On And Thrive In The Digestion Of The Food Which He Provides For Others Will Scarce Make It Savoury Unto Them; Yea, He Knows Not But The Food He Hath Provided May Be Poison, Unless He Have Really Tasted Of It Himself. If The Word Do Not Dwell With Power In Us, It Will Not Pass With Power From Us.
