Quote of the Day

"Grace withers without adversity. You can't sneak into Heaven

without a cross. Crosses form us into His image. They cut away

the pieces of our corruption. Lord cut, carve, wound; Lord do any-

thing to perfect your image in us and make us fit for glory. We need

winnowing before we enter the kingdom of God. O what I owe to the

file, hammer, and furnace! Why should I be surprised at the plough that

makes such deep furrows in my soul?"

- Samuel Rutherford in Voices From the Past
