Daily Christian quotes to direct, inspire, encourage, and help ordinary Christians in the rough and tumble of their daily lives!
Holiness is the very picture of God, and certainly no hand can carve that excellent picture but the Spirit of God. Holiness is the divine nature, and none can impart that to man but the Spirit; the Spirit is the great principle of holiness.
— Richard Baxter (1615–1691)

Be of good cheer, Christian, the time is near when God and you shall be as near as you can desire. You shall dwell in His family! You shall then have joy without sorrow — and rest without weariness!
— Richard Baxter (1615–1691)
Heaven will pay for the loss of anything that we can lose to get it, but nothing can pay for the loss of heaven.
— Richard Baxter (1615–1691)
I like to hear a man dwell much on the same essentials of Christianity. For we have but one God, and one Christ, and one faith to preach; and I will not preach another Gospel to please men with variety, as if our Savior and our Gospel were grown stale.
— Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
Spend your time in nothing which you know must be repented of; in nothing on which you might not pray for the blessing of God; in nothing which you could not review with a quiet conscience on your dying bed; in nothing which you might not safely and properly be found doing if death should surprise you in the act.
— Richard Baxter
