The Psalmist pleads the greatness of his sins as an argument for mercy. He not only does not plead his own righteousness, or the smallness of his sins; he not only does not say, Pardon mine iniquity, for I have done much good to counterbalance it; or, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is small, and thou hast no great reason to be angry with me; mine ini…

God was no more bound to restore man than to restore devils, nor bound to repair the nature of any one son of Adam; and had He dealt with men as he dealt with the devils, they had had all of them as little just ground to complain of God; for all men deserved to be left to themselves, for all were "concluded under sin" (Gal. 3:22). But God calls out…

Some are haunted with the hideous nature of their imaginations and with wicked and unworthy thoughts of God, Christ, and the Word, which, as busy flies, disquiet and assault their peace. These are cast in a wildfire by Satan, which can be seen in the strangeness, the strength and violence, and the horrible nature of these imaginations, even to thos…

This is the spring of his gracious operations in us. So our Saviour himself declares: "The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life," John iv. 14. The water here promised is the Holy Spirit, called the "gift of God," verse 10. This is evident from that parallel place, chap. vii. 38, 39, where th…

Horrible ignorance of God, and the things of salvation doth cover the soul of every man by nature, even as darkness was upon the face of the deep. Thus, Romans 3, you heard the Apostle pronounces generally, "there is none that understands, or seeks after God, No, not one." Hence also Ephesians 5:8, unconverted persons are said to be "darkness" in t…

If we do not abide in prayer, we shall abide in cursed temptations. Let this, then, be another direction:—Abide in prayer, and that expressly to this purpose, that we "enter not into temptation." Let this be one part of our daily contending with God,—that he would preserve our souls, and keep our hearts and our ways, that we be not entangled; that …

We are often compelled to weep over sins aggravated by light as clear as noonday—ordinances undervalued from their very frequency—warnings despised, although accompanied with tears from a parent's eye—and loathings felt in the heart, if not expressed by the lips, to those very blessings which were the rich benisons of heaven. In our own persons we …

When God walks contrary to a people, it is not always in one path; he hath seven ways to do it, and will do it seven times, Lev. 26:24. He strikes not always with one weapon, nor in one place. As there is with him "manifold and various grace," 1 Pet. iv. 10, -- love and compassion making out itself in choice variety, suited to our manifold indigenc…

Not all the vials of judgment that have or shall be poured out upon the wicked world, nor the flaming furnace of a sinner's conscience, nor the irreversible sentence pronounced against the rebellious demons, nor the groans of the damned creatures, give such a demonstration of God's hatred of sin, as the wrath of God let loose upon His Son. Never di…

Do you want to understand what the times require of you in reference to your own soul? Listen, and I will tell you. You live in times of peculiar spiritual danger. Never perhaps were there more traps and pitfalls in the way to Heaven. Never certainly were those traps so skilfully baited, and those pitfalls so ingeniously made. Mind what you are abo…

Chapter 5: Having seen the danger of entering into temptation, and also having discovered the ways and seasons in which and wherein men usually do so, our second inquiry is, What general directions may be given to preserve a soul from that condition that has been spoken of? And we see our Savior's direction in the place spoken of before, Matt. 26:4…

There is in the Scripture a promise of the Holy Ghost to be given unto the church as "a Spirit of grace and of supplications." As such, also, there are particular operations ascribed unto him. Mention is likewise frequently made of the aids and assistances which he affords unto believers in and unto their prayers. Hence they are said to "pray alway…

The gospel of Satan is not a system of revolutionary principles, nor yet a program of anarchy. It does not promote strife and war, but aims at peace and unity. It seeks not to set the mother against her daughter nor the father against his son, but fosters the fraternal spirit whereby the human race is regarded as one great "brotherhood." It does no…

The second thing that we are to humble ourselves unto in the law ofgrace is, a firm persuasion, exerting itself effectually in all our obedience, that there is not a righteousness to be obtained before God by the performance of any duties or obedience of ours whatever. That this lies in the law of the grace of God, the apostle disputes at large, Ro…

That some entertain prejudices against this work, and others revile and reproach it, does not make it look less like a work of God: it would else want one mark of its being so; for the spirit of this world, and the spirit which is of God, are contrary the one to the other. I do not wonder that Satan rages, and shows his rage in some that are under …

Even if your strength is abated, and your grace is weakened, through your own sin — yet, being true saving grace, it shall never be annihilated. For it is a new creation; and nothing created by God, can be annihilated by us. Man is created by God; he may be killed by man; but he cannot be annihilated and brought to nothing. The tree and wood may be…

Should it be asked, But does not the Holy Spirit overcome a man's enmity and hatred when He convicts the sinner of his sins and his need of Christ; and does not the Spirit of God produce such conviction in many that perish? Such language betrays confusion of thought: were such a man's enmity really "overcome," then he would readily turn to Christ; …
