Richard Baxter:
“The surrender to culture is a subtle temptation that seeks to erode the foundations of Christian faith and virtue. It is through the Scriptures that we come to know God and His will for our lives. The Puritan must be steadfast in resisting the pressures of the surrounding culture, standing firm in the face of opposition and persecution. Let us not be conformed to the patterns of this world, but let us be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (From “The Reformed Pastor”)
