By George Whitefield
He that every day heartily intercedes at the throne of grace cannot but be filled with love and charity to all.
When our eyes are opened by the influences of divine grace, we then shall begin to think of ourselves as we ought to think.
Meekness is necessary for people in power; a man that is passionate is dangerous.
Christianity, in one sense, is very near as old as the creation.
Religion quite changes the nature of man, and makes us to receive all the dispensations of providence with resignation and thankfulness.
Before you can speak peace to your heart, you must be brought to see that God may damn you for the best prayer you ever put up.
He who is constantly employed in interceding for others does that on earth which the eternal Son of God always does in heaven.
It was love that made him subject to hunger, thirst and sorrow; he was humbled, even unto death for you.
The very moment we desert our post, the enemy rushes in.
The more ye get of the grace of God, and the more ye are partakers of the divine life, the more will ye see your own meanness and vileness, and be less in your own eyes.
The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance.
Prayer is a duty founded on natural religion; the very heathens never neglected it.
It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.
An unapplied Christ is no Christ at all.
Pain, if patiently endured, and sanctified to us, is a great purifier of our corrupted nature.
Though we are engaged in it, and are obliged to work for our children; though we are obliged to follow trades and merchandise, and to be serviceable to the commonwealth, yet if we are real Christians, we shall be loose to the world.
God, like the true mother, will have all or none.
Intercession then is certainly a duty incumbent upon all Christians.
What are we afraid of? Is not God able to reward our entire obedience?
Our senses are the landing ports of our spiritual enemies.
