O what a blessed day that will be when I shall . . . stand on the shore and look back on the raging seas I have safely passed when I shall review my pains and sorrows, my fears and tears, and possess the glory which was the end of all!

Richard Baxter
Image
Our very business is to teach the great lesson of self-denial and humility to our people, and how unfit is it then that we should be proud ourselves!
Richard Baxter
Image
That which once was, will be no more. Yesterday will never come again. To-day is passing, and will not return. You may work while it is day but when you have lost that day, it will not return for you to work in. While your candle burns, you may make use of its light, but when it is done, it is too late to use it.

Sinners, hear and consider, if you wilfully condemn your souls to bestiality, God will condemn them to perpetual misery.
Richard Baxter
Image
Never does sin so reign in the Church or State, as when it has gained reputation,or, at least, is no disgrace to the sinner,nor is a matter od offence to we who behold it.
Richard Baxter
Image
When Christ comes with regenerating grace, he finds no man sitting still, but all posting to eternal ruin, and making haste toward hell till, by conviction, he first brings them to a stand, and then, by conversion, turn first their hearts, and then their lives, sincerely to himself.
Richard Baxter
Image
To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.
Richard Baxter
Image
When the Son of God comes to rescue us and bring us back to God, He does not find in us the ability to believe.
Richard Baxter
Image
It is not the reading of many books which is necessary to make a man wise or good but well reading of a few.
