More quotes by Richard Baxter
I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.
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
Despair of ever being saved, except thou be born again, or of seeing God without holiness, or of having part in Christ except thou love him above father, mother, or thy own life. This kind of despair is one of the first steps to heaven.
Richard Baxter
Life is short, and we are dull, and eternal things are necessary, and the souls that depend on our teaching are precious.
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
We are ignorant of things necessary, because we learn things superfluous and unnecessary
Richard Baxter
If family religion were duly attended to and properly discharged, I think the preaching of the Word would not be the common instrument of conversion.
Richard Baxter
Paganism attributes the creation of the world to blind chance.
Richard Baxter
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
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
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
Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard Baxter
Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.
Richard Baxter
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
Hell is paved with infants skulls.
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 they can see you love them, you can say anything to them.
Richard Baxter
I have pain there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
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
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
