  • Happy in the Lord

    According to my judgement the most important point to be attended to is this: above all things see to it that your souls are happy in the Lord.

  • ‘Ecstasy and delight are essential

    ‘Ecstasy and delight are essential to the believer’s soul and they promote sanctification. We were not meant to live without spiritual exhilaration and the Christian who goes for a long time without the experience of heart-warming will soon find himself tempted to have his emotions satisfied from earthly things and not, as he ought, from…

  • Worship and intercession are far
