More quotes by Richard Baxter
Do not waste your time on light, weak, milkĀtoast ministries and books
Richard Baxter
If I were but sure that I should live to see the coming of the Lord, it would be the joyfulest tidings in the world. O that I might see His kingdom come! It is the characteristic of His saints to love His appearing, and to look for that blessed hope. The Spirit and the bride say, Come. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Richard Baxter
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
The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting. If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree?
Richard Baxter
I have pain there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
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
It is not the reading of many books which is necessary to make a man wise or good but well reading of a few.
Richard Baxter
We must study as hard how to live well as how to preach well.
Richard Baxter
I tell you again, God hath not ordinarily decreed the end without the means and if you will neglect the means of salvation, it is a certain mark that God hath not decreed you to salvation. But you shall find that He hath left you no excuse, because He hath not thus predestined you.
Richard Baxter
Sinners, hear and consider, if you wilfully condemn your souls to bestiality, God will condemn them to perpetual misery.
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
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
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
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
If you do not see yourselves and all things as living, moving, and having their being in God, you see nothing, whatever you may think you see.
Richard Baxter
Paganism attributes the creation of the world to blind chance.
Richard Baxter
If they can see you love them, you can say anything to them.
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
This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.
Richard Baxter
The very design of the gospel doth tend to self-abasing and the work of grace is begun and carried on in humiliation. Humility is not a mere ornament of a Christian, but an essential part of the new creature: it is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true Christian, and not humble.
