A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

Keeping eternity in view

We must endeavour after the most succesful way, and pray for a just prosperity for our Labours; And when God doth prosper us with Wealth, we must take it thankfully (tho with fear) and use it to his Service, and do all the good with it that we can. Look up to Heaven men; and remember that there is thy Home, and there is thy Hope, or else thou art a man undone forever; and therefore it is for that thou must care and labour. [Richard Baxter]

The role of the church-what it is and isn’t

The devil has seldom done a cleverer thing than hinting to the church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them… providing amusement for the people is nowhere spoken of in the Scriptures as a function of the church…the need is for Biblical doctrine, so understood and felt that it sets men aflame.[C.H. Spurgeon]
