INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
"Those that think well of themselves are apt to fancy that others think well of them too; but, when they come to make trial of them, they will find themselves mistaken, & thus their pride deceives them & by it slays them."
"Carnal security is a sin that most easily besets men in the day of their pomp, power, & prosperity, & does, as much as any thing, both ripen men for ruin & aggravate it when it comes." "Treasures on earth, though ever so fast locked up & ever so artfully hidden, cannot be so safely laid up but that thieves may break through & steal; it is therefore our wisdom to lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven." "If God lay under us the arms of his power & love, these will be firm & easy under us: the God of our covenant will never deceive us." "God will justly deny those understanding to keep out of the way of danger that will not use their understanding to keep out of the way of sin." "In reflecting upon ourselves it is good to compare what we have done with what we should have done, our practice with the rule, that we may discover wherein we have done amiss, have done those things which we ought not to have done." "Those have a great deal to answer for that are idle spectators of the troubles & afflictions of their neighbours, when they are capable of being their active helpers." "Those do but impoverish themselves that think to enrich themselves by the ruins of the people of God" "The just & jealous God will find out a time & way to avenge the wrongs done to his people on those that have been injurious to them." "Where there is holiness there shall be deliverance." "Those that are not refined as gold by the fire of the gospel shall be consumed as dross by it; for it will be a savour either of life or of death." "...the kingdom shall be the Lord's; the kingdoms of the world shall become his, & he has taken, & will take, to himself his great power & reign." Matthew Henry's Commentary: Isaiah to Malachi, Mac Donald, pgs. 1270 - 1278.
