Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious; of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.
From William Gurnall
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day; we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
