Men, even the elect, have too many infirmities to come to Christ without help from heaven; inviting will not do.
John BunyanTherefore, I bind these lies and slanderous accusations to my person as an ornament; it belongs to my Christian profession to be vilified, slandered, reproached and reviled, and since all this is nothing but that, as God and my conscience testify, I rejoice in being reproached for Christ's sake.
John Bunyan
