A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

Riches and Poverty

It is infinitely better to be rich towards God, and poor towards the world, than to be poor towards God, and to be rich towards the world. There are some very rich, who yet are very poor; there are others who are very poor, and yet are very rich, Eccles v. 12; Prov. xi. 24. It is infinitely better to be poor men and rich Christians, than to be rich men and poor Christians. [Thomas Brooks]

Multitude is a foolish argument

Think not the better of sin because it is in fashion. think not the better of impiety and ungodliness, because many walk in those crooked ways. Multitude is a foolish argument; multitude does not argue the goodness of a thing. The devils name is Legion…The plea of a multitude will not hold out at God’s bar when God shall ask you, "Why did you break your oath?" To say then, "Lord, because most men did so," will be a poor plea: God will say to you, "Then seeing you have sinned with the multitude, you shall now go to hell with the multitude." [Thomas Watson]
