Richard Baxter:
“Guarding the mind and the heart is a discipline of paramount importance, for it is from these inner citadels that the issues of life flow forth. The Puritan must be vigilant in the battle for the mind and the heart, resisting the encroachments of sin and worldliness. 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 discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. In this way, we will be fortified against the assaults of the enemy and enabled to walk in the paths of righteousness all the days of our lives.” (From “The Reformed Pastor”)
