Charles Grandison FinneyI was like you once, long time ago. I believed in the dignity of man. Decency. Humanity. But I was lucky. I found out the truth early, boy. And what is the truth, Stark?

Charles Grandison FinneyWhen you come back to God for pardon and salvation, come with all you have to lay all at his feet. Come with your body, to offer it as a living sacrifice upon His altar.

Come, bring them all along-everything, body, soul, intellect, imagination, acquirements-all, without reserve.
