There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it; the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen; and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree.
Charles SpurgeonIf you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation.
