MY HOPE
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, "You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself." My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will. - Charles Haddon Spurgeon

CONTRARY
"They go and set up free will with the heathen philosophers, and say that man's free will is the cause why God chooseth one and not the other, contrary unto all of Scripture." ~William Tyndale

PRECARIOUS
"Worship is a holy expression before a holy God. To invite non-believers into such a holy process is a precarious thing, and to design worship in such a way to accommodate their secular mindset is not only ineffective evangelism but also severely compromised worship." - Bill Izard

Trample
"I pray God that I may never find my will again. Oh, that Christ would subject my will to His, and trample it under His feet." - Samuel Rutherford

UTTERLY BEYOND
God has surely promised His grace to the humbled: that is, to those
who mourn over and despair of themselves. But a man cannot be thoroughly
humbled till he realizes that his salvation is utterly beyond his own
powers, counsels, efforts, will and works, and depends absolutely on the
will, counsel, pleasure and work of Another -- God alone.
- Martin Luther
