Stephen Charnock

We may be truly said to worship God, though we lack perfection; but we cannot be said to worship Him if we lack sincerity.

Since nothing but God is eternal, nothing but God is worth the loving.

Frequently renew settled and holy resolutions. A soldier unresolved to fight may be easily defeated...The weakness of our graces, the strength of our temptations, and the diligence of our spiritual enemies, require strong resolutions.
