Famous Quotes & Sayings

William Law

As a good Christian should consider every place as holy, because God is there, so he should look upon every part of his life as a matter of holiness, because it is offered unto God.

But worldly business is to be made holy unto the Lord, by being done as a service unto Him, and in conformity to His Divine will.
