We Are Never Nearer Christ

If The Word Does Not Dwell With Power In Us, It Will Not Pass With Power From Us.

Temptation Gains Power By Persistent Solicitations That Beget Thoughts That Make Evil Less Serious

A Man May Be Carried On In A Constant Course Of Mortification All His Days; And Yet Perhaps Never Enjoy A Good Day Of Peace And Consolation.

Meditate On The Word In The Word.

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.
