If We Would Talk Less

Let Not That Man Think He Makes Any Progress In Holiness Who Walks Not Over The Bellies Of His Lusts. He Who Doth Not Kill Sin In This Way Takes No Steps Toward His Journey's End.

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.

Let No Man Pretend To Fear Sin That Does Not Fear Temptation Also! These Two Are Too Closely United To Be Separated. He Does Not Truly Hate The Fruit Who Delights In The Root.

The Pretended Desires Of Many To Behold The Glory Of Christ In Heaven, Who Have No View Of It By Faith While They Are Here In This World, Are Nothing But Self-deceiving Imaginations.

All Attempts, Then, For Mortification Of Any Lust, Without An Interest In Christ, Are Vain.
