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
'Tis hard preaching a stone into tears, or making a rock to tremble.
Richard Baxter

Richard Baxter
Image
It is true, that men may have Christ whenever they are willing to comply with His terms. But if you are not willing now, how can you think you shall be willing hereafter?
Richard Baxter
Image
