Did Christ finish His work for us? Then there can be no doubt but He will also finish His work in us  (John Flavel Quotes) It is better to be as low as hell with a promise, than in paradise without one  (John Flavel Quotes) Where there is no want, there is usually much wantonness  (John Flavel Quotes) That which begins not with prayer, seldom winds up with comfort  (John Flavel Quotes) A hot iron, though blunt, will pierce sooner than a cold one, though sharper  (John Flavel Quotes) Observed duties maintain our credit; but secret duties maintain our life  (John Flavel Quotes) Grace makes the promise and providence the payment  (John Flavel Quotes) When our needs are permitted to grow to an extremity, and all visible hopes fail, then to have relief given wonderfully enhances the price of such a mercy  (John Flavel Quotes) Guilt is to danger, what fire is to gunpowder; a man need not fear to walk among many barrels of powder, if he have no fire about him  (John Flavel Quotes) If you neglect to instruct children in the way of holiness, will the devil neglect to instruct them in the way of wickedness? No; if you will not teach them to pray, he will to curse, swear, and lie; if ground be uncultivated, weeds will spring  (John Flavel Quotes) If time be a ring of gold, opportunity is the rich diamond that gives it both its value and glory  (John Flavel Quotes) Turn in upon yourselves, get into your closets, and now resolve to dwell there. You have been strangers to this work too long; you have kept other vineyards too long; you have trifled about the borders of religion too long. Will you now resolve to look better to your hearts? Will you hate and come out of the crowds of business and clamors of the world and retire yourselves more than you have done? Oh, that this day you would resolve upon it!  (John Flavel Quotes) Oh sirs, deal with sin as sin, and speak of heaven and hell as they are, and not as if you were in jest  (John Flavel Quotes) Wrath to come implies both the futurity and perpetuity of this wrath... Yea, it is not only certainly future, but when it comes it will be abiding wrath, or wrath still coming. When millions of years and ages are past and gone, this will still be wrath to come. Ever coming as a river ever flowing  (John Flavel Quotes) The more afflictions you have been under, the more assistance you have had for this life of holiness  (John Flavel Quotes) Afflictions have the same use and end to our souls, that frosty weather hath upon those clothes that are laid and bleaching, they alter the hue and make them white  (John Flavel Quotes) Christian! thou knowest thou carriest gunpowder about thee. Desire them that carry fire to keep at a distance. It is a dangerous crisis when a proud heart meets with flattering lips  (John Flavel Quotes) Brethren, it is easier to declaim against a thousand sins of others, than to mortify one sin in ourselves  (John Flavel Quotes) To see a man humble under prosperity is one of the greatest rarities in the world  (John Flavel Quotes) Providence is like a curious piece of tapestry made of a thousand shreds, which, single, appear useless, but put together, they represent a beautiful history to the eye  (John Flavel Quotes) Providence is wiser than you, and you may be confident it has suited all things better to your eternal good than you could do had you been left to your own option  (John Flavel Quotes) Lord, here is my body; I am very grateful for it; I neglected nothing that belonged to its contents and welfare; but as for my soul, that is lost and cast away forever. I took little care and thought about it  (John Flavel Quotes) What a mercy was it to us to have parents that prayed for us before they had us, as well as in our infancy when we could not pray for ourselves!  (John Flavel Quotes) All the tears of a penitent sinner, should he shed as many as there have been fallen drops of rain since the creation, cannot wash away one sin. The everlasting burnings in hell cannot purify the flaming conscience from the least sin  (John Flavel Quotes) Jesus, our head, is already in heaven; and if the head be above water, the body cannot drown  (John Flavel Quotes) God’s unspotted faithfulness never failed any soul that durst trust himself in its arms  (John Flavel Quotes) Faith is the bond of union, the instrument of justification, the spring of spiritual peace and joy, the means of spiritual peace and subsistence  (John Flavel Quotes) Moral virtues are so many sweet flowers strewed over a dead corpse, which hide the loathsomeness of it, but inspire not life into it  (John Flavel Quotes) Light is a special help to obedience, and obedience is a singular help to increase light  (John Flavel Quotes) God kills thy comforts from no other design but to kill thy corruptions; wants are ordained to kill wantonness, poverty is appointed to kill pride, reproaches are permitted to destroy ambition  (John Flavel Quotes)
