George Whitefield Quotes

... we did decide to trust Christ, but the reason we made that decision is that God had first made us spiritually alive. ...

Jesus never met a disease he could not cure, a birth defect he could not reverse, a demon he could not exorcise. But he did meet skeptics he could not convince and sinners he could not convert.
