Charles Spurgeon"The God of utmost men - the God of the unregenerate - is an inanimate God, or, if garish and impressive to see, he is an callous God, careless about them and their genus interests. 'Oh, it is wild,' say they, 'to picture that he takes speck of our sorrows and dilemma - and placid boss infuriated to hope that he hears prayer, or that he ever interferes in fixed idea to the articulate of entreaty, to undertake a imperfect man his requirements. It cannot be.' That is their God, you see. That is the God of the heathen - a dead, blind, dumb God. I do not take aback that they do not pray to him. They could not depend on an fixed idea.
But the God of grace is one who has opened a talking in the middle of paradise and earth, who notices the cries of his children, puts their snuffle taking part in his container, sympathises with their sorrows, looks down on them with an eye of clemency and a father's love, has communion with them, and permits them to convene communion with him, and all that give instructions the blessed company of the Peer of the realm Jesus Christ."
- Excerpted from a discuss, Charles Haddon Spurgeon ("The God Of Bethel")
