Now do not aim at great things. Be satisfied to have a faith that can hold in its hand this one truth, "While we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly." (Rom 5:6) He laid down His life for men while as yet they were not believing in Him, nor were able to believe in Him. He died for men, not as believers, but as sinners. He came to make these sinners into believers and saints; but when He died for them He viewed them as utterly without strength. ... It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves; and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts.
- C.H. Spurgeon, "All of Grace", pp 74-75.

Hi Steve,
Just wanted to let you know that even though I don't comment on every blog you post, I do enjoy reading them. I usually do it at work, to look busy when there are no customers, but it is a nice diversion. Keep posting, someone is reading, even if they don't "comment". Love, mom
