What have we our time and strength for, but to lay both out for God? What is a candle made but to burn? He that works much lives much.
— Richard Baxter
Near to God
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
Preaching
It is a fearful thing to be an unsanctified professor, but much more to be an unsanctified preacher.
— Richard Baxter
Family Worship
Let family worship be performed consistently and at a time when it is most likely for the family to be free of interruptions.
— Richard Baxter
Reproof
A foolish physician he is, and a most unfaithful friend, that will let a sick man die for fear of troubling him; and cruel wretches are we to our friends, that will rather suffer them to go quietly to hell, then we will anger them, or hazard our reputation with them.
— Richard Baxter
