See In The Meantime That Your Faith

Christ Greatly Delights In His People And They Greatly Delight In Him

I Have Known Some Good Men Who Have Been So Addicted To Their Study, That They Have Thought The Last Day Of The Week Sufficient To Prepare For Their Ministry, Though They Employ All The Rest Of The Week In Other Studies. But Your Business Is To Trade With Your Spiritual Abilities. ... A Man May Preach A Very Good Sermon, Who Is Otherwise Himself; But He Will Never Make A Good Minister Of Jesus Christ, Whose Mind And Heart Are Not Always In The Work. Spiritual Gifts Will Require Continual Ruminating On The Things Of The Gospel In Our Minds.

A Minister May Fill His Pews, His Communion Roll, The Mouths Of The Public, But What That Minister Is On His Knees In Secret Before God Almighty, That He Is And No More.

To Suppose That Whatever God Requireth Of Us That We Have Power Of Ourselves To Do, Is To Make The Cross And Grace Of Jesus Christ Of None Effect.

We Admit No Faith To Be Justifying, Which Is Not Itself And In Its Own Nature A Spiritually Vital Principle Of Obedience And Good Works.
