(Thomas Watson) LISTEN to Audio! Download Audio
There is more evil in a drop of sin–than in a sea of affliction!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The natural heart is . . .
the nursery of sin,
the magazine where all the weapons of wickedness lie,
full of antipathy against God,
a lesser Hell!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Morality is but nature refined–old Adam put in a better dress. The garnishing of man with moral excellencies, is but adorning a dead man with a garland of flowers!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Civility is not grace, although it is a good wall against which to plant the vine of grace.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
If a wicked man seems to have peace at death–it is not from the knowledge of his happiness, but from the ignorance of his danger!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
God’s long forbearance in not punishing of sin, is not forgiveness!
The longer God delays the blow–the heavier it falls when He strikes!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The sinner may live in a calm–but he will die in a storm of wrath!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Sin makes the soul red with guilt–and black with filth!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The love of sin makes sin taste sweet–this sweetness beguiles the heart, and ruins the soul.
It is worse to love sin, than to commit it. The love of sin . . .
hardens the heart,
keeps the devil in possession, and
freezes the soul in impenitence.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
View sin in the looking-glass of Christ’s sufferings!
The least sin cost His blood!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Read the greatness of your sin in the greatness of the Savior’s sufferings, and in the depth of His wounds!
