I was honored today with having a few stones, dirt, rotten eggs, and pieces of dead cat thrown at me.

Study to know Him more and more, for the more you know, the more you will love Him.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness. Those who trust in their own righteousness for conversion hide behind their own good works. This is the reason that self-righteous people are so angry with gospel preachers, because the gospel does not spare those who will not submit to the righteousness of Jesus Christ!

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

In the year 1618, a law was passed in Virginia, which enacted that “every person should go to church on Sunday’s and holy days, or lie neck and heels that night, and be a slave to the Colony the following week.” For the second offense, he was to be a slave for a month; and for the third, a year and a day. – Stith’s Hist., p. 148

This fun fact was taken out of “The Memoir of John Rodgers” p. 30,  printed in 1840. Hope you enjoyed your fun fact!!!!!!!!!!!!
