A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

The Regulative Principle of Worship

They will receive nothing, practice nothing, own nothing in his worship but what is of his appointment. They know that from the foundation of the world, he never did allow nor ever will, than in anything the will of the creatures should be the measure of his honour, or the principle of his worship, either as to matter or to manner…

They readily embrace, recieve, and practice everything that the Lord Christ hath appointed. They inquire diligently into his mind and will, that they may know it. They go to him for directions, and beg him to lead them in the way they have not known…This I say they are tender in. Whatever is of Christ, they willingly submit unto, and accept of, and give up themselves to the constant practice hereof. Whatever comes on any ohter account they refuse. [John Owen]
