If A Man Teach Uprightly And Walk

Hatred Of Sin As Sin, Not Only As Galling Or Disquieting, A Sense Of The Love Of Christ In The Cross, Lie At The Bottom Of All True Spiritual Mortification.

If We Believe Not With Faith Divine And Supernatural, We Believe Not At All.

Without A Sincere And Diligent Effort In Every Area Of Obedience, There Will Be No Sucessful Mortification Of Any One Besetting Sin.

It Is Not The Distance Of The Earth From The Sun, Nor The Sun's Withdrawing Itself, That Makes A Dark And Gloomy Day; But The Interposition Of Clouds And Vaporous Exhalations. Neither Is Thy Soul Beyond The Reach Of The Promise, Nor Does God Withdraw Himself; But The Vapours Of Thy Carnal, Unbelieving Heart Do Cloud Thee.

Longing, Breathing, And Panting After Deliverance Is A Grace In Itself, That Has A Mighty Power To Conform The Soul Into The Likeness Of The Thing Longed After...unless You Long For Deliverance You Shall Not Have It.
