A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

The king of sins

Unbelief is the great anti-christ in the heart, setting up there in downright opposition to the Son of God. The end of Christ’s coming was to destroy sin, 1 John iii. 8, the effect of unbelief is to preserve sin,in life and vigour. It is the soul and life of all other sins, the shield that keeps their heads and hearts halo; take it away, they all die, and the soul revives; leave it upon their head, and they all live, and the soul dies, John viii. 24. It is the general of the army of hell in men’s breasts, against whom the Word is given in the day of power. [Thomas Boston]

The high and low

They that are so wise as to fall in humiliation under the mighty hand, be they ever so low the same hand will raise them up again (Jas 4:10). In a word, be the proud ever so high, God will bring them down; be the humble ever so low, God will raise them up.  [Thomas Boston]
