We trust as we love, and we trust where we love; if you love Christ much surely you will trust Him much. - Thomas Brooks

True penitential confession is joined with reformation. He that does not forsake his sin, as well as confess it, forsakes the benefit of his confession. And indeed, there is no real confession of sin, where there is no real forsaking of sin. It is not enough for us to confess the sins we have committed, but we must resolve against committing again the sins we have committed.

Though all truths are glorious, yet there is a double glory upon seasonable truths.

There is nothing in the world that renders a man more unlike to a saint, and more like to Satan - than to argue from God's mercy to sinful liberty; from divine goodness to licentiousness.
