The Least Grace Is A Better Security

The Stronghold Of The Contemplation Of Christ's Glory Affords The Soul Rest, For It Will Be Made Evident That Our Troubles Grow On The Root Of An Over-valuation Of Temporal Things. The Mind Is Its Own Greatest Troubler.

When The Heart Is Once Won To Rest In God, To Repose Himself On Him, He Will Assuredly Satisfy It. He Will Never Be As Water That Fails; Nor Hath He Said At Any Time To The Seed Of Jacob, "seek Ye My Face In Vain." If Christ Be Chosen For The Foundation Of Our Supply, He Will Not Fail Us.

Temptations And Occasions Put Nothing Into A Man, But Only Draw Out What Was In Him Before.

To Say That We Are Able By Our Own Efforts To Think Good Thoughts Or Give God Spiritual Obedience Before We Are Spiritually Regenerate Is To Overthrow The Gospel And The Faith Of The Universal Church In All Ages.

Our Great Pattern Hath Showed Us What Our Deportment Ought To Be In All Suggestions And Temptations. When The Devil Showed Him "all The Kingdoms Of The World And The Glory Of Them," To Tempt Him Withal, He Did Not Stand And Look Upon Them, Viewing Their Glory, And Pondering Their Empire.... But Instantly, Without Stay, He Cries, "get Thee Hence, Satan." Meet Thy Temptation In Its Entrance With Thoughts Of Faith Concerning Christ On The Cross; This Will Make It Sink Before Thee. Entertain No Parley, No Dispute With It, If Thou Wouldst Not Enter Into It.
