"In the last analysis, Christianity is not a philosophy which we accept; it is not a theory
to which we give allegiance; it is not something which is thought out; it is not
something which is intellectually derived at. It is a personal response to Jesus Christ. It is the
answer of the heart to the magnet of Christ. It is an allegiance and a love which a man
gives because his heart will not allow him to do anything else."
William Barclay

“I could more easily contain Niagara Falls in a teacup than I
could comprehend the wild, uncontainable love of God.”
