Monday Puritan

"God has wrought faith in you, yet God expects that you should daily act your faith upon Jesus Christ for the cleansing of your soul to the extent that you defile your soul daily. You do not go about the least duty without contracting some filth. Your houses every day gather filth and dust at least. Though swine are not allowed to come into your houses, yet they gather some kind of uncleanness every day, and need to be swept and washed daily. So you need to wash your soul in the blood of Christ every day, and you need to renew your repentance every day." -- Jeremiah Burroughs, Hope, p. 38.
