Image
There is no such way to get much grace, as to be thankful for a little grace. He who opens his mouth wide in praise, shall have his heart lled with graces. Ingratitude stops the ear of God, and shuts the hand of God, and turns away the heart of the God of grace and therefore we had need to be thankful for a little grace.

Consider that spiritual safety comes through spiritual unity. Christians united together are difficult to separate, difficult to break, difficult to pick off and destroy. It is when you isolate yourself by disrupting or denying unity that you are most at risk.

Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless, services shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will be dumb.

God looks not at the oratory of your prayers, how elegant they may be nor at the geometry of your prayers, how long they may be nor at the arithmetic of your prayers, how many they may be not at logic of your prayers, how methodical they may be but the sincerity of them he looks at.

Ah, believer, it is only Heaven that is above all winds, storms, and tempests God did not cast man out of Paradise that he might find another paradise in this world.
Thomas Brooks
Image
There are three things that earthly riches can never do they can never satisfy divine justice, they can never pacify divine wrath, nor can they every quiet a guilty conscience. And till these things are done man is undone.

Sin in a wicked man is like poison in a serpent it is in its natural place.

The lazy Christian has his mouth full of complaints, when the active Christian has his heart full of comforts.

God sees us in secret, therefore, let, us seek his face in secret. Though heaven be God's palace, yet it is not his prison.
