We Baptists don’t believe in tradition; it’s contrary to our historic position . — Author unknown

God hath work to do in this world; and to desert it because of its difficulties and entanglements, is to cast off His authority. It is not enough that we be just, that we be righteous, and walk with God in holiness; but we must also serve our generation, as David did before he fell asleep. God hath a work to do; and not to help Him is to oppose Him. — John Owen

The Christian cannot be satisfied so long as any human activity is either opposed to Christianity or out of connection with Christianity. Christianity must pervade not merely all nations but also all of human thought. — J. Gresham Machen

A well-beaten path does not always make the right road. Unknown

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death . . . I at any rate, cannot separate the two ideas of democracy and tradition; it seems evident to me that they are the same idea. G K Chesterton {Orthodoxy, Garden City, NY: Doubleday Image, 1908, p. 48} —
