Christ will open to their view the great fountain of love in his heart far beyond what they ever saw before. Jonathan Edwards, 'Heaven Is a World of Love'

William Still (1911-1997) to pastors: In your personal, intimate, up-to-date knowledge of Christ, secure in His calling, anchored, rooted to your right place, you must in fact die at the stake to all you are in yourself, bad and good. Do not forget that while Jesus died with
