Image

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
Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.

Do not waste your time on light, weak, milk­toast ministries and books
Richard Baxter
Image
For it was thy sin, and the sin of all the world, that lay upon our Redeemer, and his sacrifice and satisfaction is sufficient for all, and the fruits of it are offered to one as well as another, but it is true that it was never the intent of his mind to pardon and save any that would not by faith and repentance be converted.
