This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.
Richard BaxterBe careful how you spend your time: Spend your time in nothing which you know must be repented of.
Richard BaxterThe 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.
