Doing the devil’s business – William Gurnall
When you see men of power and intellect using their talents against God, weep for their souls. Better they had lived and died slaves and fools, than to do the the devil’s business with their God-given abilities.

Salvation from Hell or Salvation from Sin? – AW Pink
The nature of Christ’s salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.

Fix Your Mind On Above – Henry Scougal
Let us often withdraw our thoughts from this earth, this scene of misery, and folly, and sin, and raise them toward that more vast and glorious world, whose innocent and blessed inhabitants solace themselves eternally in the divine presence, and know no other passion but an unmixed joy, and an unbound love.

Don’t Invent New Sins – William Gurnall
Think twice before you use your intelligence to invent new sins! You may provoke God to new punishments. Sodom devised a new way to sin, so God devised a new way to discipline them: He sent hell from above upon them.
