Richard Baxter
Image
This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.
Richard Baxter
Image
Is it but right that our hearts should be on God, when the heart of God is so much on us.
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
If life be long, I will be glad, Tthat I may long obey If short, yet why should I be sad, To soar to endless day?
Richard Baxter
Image
Above all be much in secret prayer and meditation. By this you will fetch the heavenly fire that must kindle your sacrifice: remember you cannot decline and neglect your duty to your own hurt alone, many will be losers by it as well as you.
Richard Baxter

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

Nothing can be rightly known, if God be not known nor is any study well managed, nor to any great purpose, if God is not studied. We know little of the creature, till we know it as it stands related to the Creator.
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.
Richard Baxter

'Tis hard preaching a stone into tears, or making a rock to tremble.
Richard Baxter
Image
I have pain there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
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
I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.
Richard Baxter
Image
An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.
Richard Baxter
Image
It is as hard a thing to maintain a sound understanding, a tender conscience, a lively, gracious, heavenly spirit, and an upright life in the midst of contention, as to keep your candle lighted in the greatest storms.
Richard Baxter
Image
If they can see you love them, you can say anything to them.
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
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
Image
Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard Baxter
Image
I take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.
