More quotes by 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
Is it not enough that all the world is against us, but we must also be against one another? O happy days of persecution, which drove us together in love, whom the sunshine of liberty and prosperity crumbles into dust by our contentions!
Richard Baxter
Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.
Richard Baxter
You are not likely to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation.
Richard Baxter
Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy Scriptures ever have the preeminence.
Richard Baxter
Keep your children as much as may be from ill company, especially of ungodly playfellows. It is one of the greatest dangers for the undoing of children in the world especially when they are sent to common schools: for there is scarce any of those schools so good, but hath many rude and ungodly ill-taught children in it.
Richard Baxter
'Tis hard preaching a stone into tears, or making a rock to tremble.
Richard Baxter
Prayer must carry on our work as much as preaching he preacheth not heartily to his people that will not pray for them.
Richard Baxter
I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.
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
Tomorrow is always the sluggard's working day today is his holiday
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
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
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
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
Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard Baxter
I take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.
Richard Baxter
I must confess, as the experience of my own soul, that the expectation of loving my friends in heaven principally kindles my love to them while on earth.
Richard Baxter
When Christ comes with regenerating grace, he finds no man sitting still, but all posting to eternal ruin, and making haste toward hell till, by conviction, he first brings them to a stand, and then, by conversion, turn first their hearts, and then their lives, sincerely to himself.
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
