Resolved To Live With All My Might

Assurance Is Not To Be Obtained So Much By Self-examination As By Action

How Can You Expect To Dwell With God Forever, If You So Neglect And Forsake Him Here?

Resolved, Never To Do Any Manner Of Thing, Whether In Soul Or Body, Less Or More, But What Tends To The Glory Of God; Nor Be, Nor Suffer It, If I Can Avoid It.

No Degree Of Speculative Knowledge Of Religion Is Any Certain Sign Of True Piety.

The Deceitfulness Of The Heart Of Man Appears In No One Thing So Much As This Of Spiritual Pride And Self-righteousness. The Subtlety Of Satan Appears In Its Height, In His Managing Persons With Respect To This Sin. And Perhaps One Reason May Be That Here He Has Most Experience; He Knows The Way Of Its Coming In; He Is Acquainted With The Secret Springs Of It: It Was His Own Sin. Experience Gives Vast Advantage In Leading Souls, Either In Good Or Evil.
