John Howe:
“The surrender to culture presents a constant battle for the believer, as the world’s allurements seek to draw us away from the path of righteousness. Yet, it is through the Scriptures that we discern the unchanging will of God. The Puritan must stand resolute against the tide of cultural conformity, unwavering in adherence to the eternal truths revealed in Scripture. Let us not be swayed by the transient opinions and customs of this world, but let us anchor our souls in the unchanging Word of God, which alone provides the sure foundation for our faith and practice.” (From “The Works of John Howe”)
