O think of these things - George Whitefield

O think of these things, all ye that are unwilling to walk with God. 

Lay them to heart. Show yourselves men and in the strength of ‪

Jesus‬ say ‘Farewell, lust of the flesh, I will no more walk with 

thee! 

Farewell, lust of the eye and pride of life! Farewell, carnal 

acquaintance and enemies of the cross, I will no more walk and be 

intimate with you! Welcome Jesus, welcome thy word, welcome 

thy ordinances, welcome thy Spirit, welcome thy people, I will 

henceforth walk with you. 

George Whitefield

My politics--the Lord reigns--Letters of John Newton

The Lord reigns! Let the nations tremble!' (Psalm 99:1)

The times look awfully dark indeed; and as the clouds grow thicker—the stupidity of the nation seems proportionally to increase. If the Lord had not a remnant here, I would have very formidable apprehensions.—But He loves His children; some are sighing and mourning before Him, and I am sure He hears their sighs, and sees their tears. I trust there is mercy in store for us at the bottom; but I expect a shaking time before things get into a right channel—before we are humbled, and are taught to give Him the glory....The state of the nation, the state of the churches—both are deplorable! Those who should be praying—are disputing and fighting among themselves! Alas! how many professors are more concerned for the mistakes of government—than for their own sins!—
