Asahel Nettleton quotes (1783-1844)

Only Christ could build a bridge to God, with only two pieces of wood!

   ~  ~  ~  ~

The conversion and salvation of sinners is owing entirely to the sovereign mercy of God!
It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs - because sinners always will wrong, and always run wrong.

   ~  ~  ~  ~

Every sinner is now on trial - he is now invited to the bleeding Savior.
He is urged by all the horrors of Hell, to enter Heaven.
But death closes the possibility for ever!

The Christian life is a life of paradoxes:
   We must realize we are blind - to see.
   We must become fools - to be wise.
   We must suffer - to reign.
   We must die - to live.

   ~  ~  ~  ~

If I might be the means of saving one soul - I would prefer it to all the riches and honor in the world.
