I seem, at any rate, to be a little wiser than he is on this point I do not think that I know what I do not know.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon


I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.

Baronne Anne Louise Germaine Necker de Stal Stal


The sense of this word among the Greeks affords the noblest definition of it enthusiasm signifies God in us.
