Lay Siege To Your Sins, And Starve

Life Is Short, And We Are Dull, And Eternal Things Are Necessary, And The Souls That Depend On Our Teaching Are Precious.

I Preached As Never Sure To Preach Again, And As A Dying Man To Dying Men.

Such Is The Depth Of The Christian Scriptures, That Even If I Were Attempting To Study Them And Nothing Else From Early Boyhood To Decrepit Old Age, With The Utmost Leisure, The Most Unwearied Zeal, And Talents Greater Than I Have, I Would Be Still Daily Making Progress In Discovering Their Treasures.

Naturally, Men Are Prone To Spin Themselves A Web Of Opinions Out Of Their Own Brain, And To Have A Religion That May Be Called Their Own. They Are Far Readier To Make Themselves A Faith, Than To Receive That Which God Hath Formed To Their Hands; Are Far Readier To Receive A Doctrine That Tends To Their Carnal Commodity, Or Honor, Or Delight, Than One That Tends To Self-denial.

Prayer Must Carry On Our Work As Much As Preaching; He Preacheth Not Heartily To His People That Will Not Pray For Them.
