A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

The good things of this short nightdream

When this race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw. [Samuel Rutherford]

Why Meditate?

Meditation will keep your hearts and souls from sinful thought. When the vessel is full, you can put in no more…if the heart be full of sinful thoughts, there is no room for holy and heavenly thoughts: if the heart be full of holy and heavenly thoughts by meditation, there is no room for evil and sinful thoughts. [William Bridge]
