Historic Baptist Writers

We shall not adjust our Bible to the age; but before we have done with it, by God's grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.- C.H. Spurgeon

The pitiable saviour and the pathetic god of modern pulpits are unknown to the old gospel. The old gospel tells men that they need God, but not that God needs them (a modern falsehood); it does not exhort them to pity Christ, but announces that Christ has pitied them, though pity was the last thing they deserved. It never loses sight of the Divine majesty and sovereign power of the Christ whom it proclaims, but rejects flatly all representations of Him which would obscure His free omnipotence. — J. I. Packer
