“Every man must render to God the things that are God’s and that let it be remembered is all that he is and all he possesses. How are all things sanctified to us, but in the separation and dedication of them to God? Are they not all his talents, and must be employed in his service? Must not every Christian first ask, In what way may I most honour God with my substance? Do we preach these things to our people?”
Richard Baxter in The Reformed Pastor (The Religious Tract Society: London, England 1982) 77.
