Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard BaxterUse sin as it will use you; spare it not, for it will not spare you; it is your murderer, and the murderer of the world: use it, therefore, as a murderer should be used. Kill it before it kills you.
Richard BaxterThe 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?
