More quotes by Richard Baxter
Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy Scriptures ever have the preeminence.
Richard Baxter
A foolish physician he is, and a most unfaithful friend, that will let a sick man die for fear of troubling him and cruel wretches are we to our friends, that will rather suffer them to go quietly to hell, then we will anger them, or hazard our reputation with them.
Richard Baxter
You are not likely to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation.
Richard Baxter
It is not a terrible thing to a wretched soul, when it shall lie roaring perpetually in the flames of hell, and the God of mercy himself shall laugh at them when...God shall mock them instead of relieving them when none in heaven or earth can help them but God, and he shall rejoice over them in their calamity
Richard Baxter
Sinners, hear and consider, if you wilfully condemn your souls to bestiality, God will condemn them to perpetual misery.
Richard Baxter
Sit not down without assurance. Get alone, and bring thy heart to the bar of trial force it to answer the interrogatories put to it set the qualifications of the saints on one side, and the qualifications of thy soul on the other side, and then judge what resemblance there is between them.
Richard Baxter
We shall then have joy without sorrow, and rest without weariness...Be of good cheer, Christian, the time is near, when God and thou shalt be near, and as near as thou canst well desire. Thou shalt dwell in his family.
Richard Baxter
Screw the truth into men's minds.
Richard Baxter
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
Such is the depth of the Christian Scriptures, that even if I were attempting to study them and nothing else from early boyhood to decrepit old age, with the utmost leisure, the most unwearied zeal, and talents greater than I have, I would be still daily making progress in discovering their treasures.
Richard Baxter
We must study as hard how to live well as how to preach well.
Richard Baxter
I have pain there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
Richard Baxter
God takes men's hearty desires and will, instead of the deed, where they have not power to fulfill it but he never took the bare deed instead of the will.
Richard Baxter
Is it but right that our hearts should be on God, when the heart of God is so much on us.
Richard Baxter
You shall find this to be God's usual course: not to give his children the taste of his delights till they begin to sweat in seeking after them.
Richard Baxter
Hell is paved with infants skulls.
Richard Baxter
A man pleaser cannot be true to God, because he is a servant to the enemies of his service the wind of a man's mouth will drive him about as the chaff, from any duty, and to any sin.
Richard Baxter
Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard Baxter
It is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true christian, and not humble.
Richard Baxter
Life is short, and we are dull, and eternal things are necessary, and the souls that depend on our teaching are precious.
