A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

If not for fruit, tis for the fire

It is better for a bramble to be in the wilderness than in an orchard; for a weed to be abroad, than in a garden, where it is sure to be weeded out, as the other to be cut down. If a man will be unprofitable, let him be unprofitable out of the church. But to be so where he has the dew of grace falling on him, in the means of salvation, where are all God’s sweet favours…will God, the great Husbandman, endure this? Whatsoever is not for fruit, is for the fire. [Richard Sibbes]
