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 BaxterTo live among such excellent helps as our libraries afford, to have so many silent wise companions whenever we please.
Richard BaxterI take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.
Richard BaxterOvervalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard BaxterSee that your chief study be about heart, that there God's image may be planted, and his interest advanced, and the interest of the world and flesh subdued, and the love of every sin cast out, and the love of holiness succeed; and that you content not yourselves with seeming to do good in outward acts, when you are bad yourselves, and strangers to the great internal duties. The first and great work of a Christian is about his heart.
