    Miglior citazione da Preaching Like Thomas Chalmers: Christ-Centered Power

    “

    The heart cannot be prevailed upon to part with the world by a simple act of resignation; it must be prevailed upon to admit into its preference another, who shall subordinate the world and bring it down from its wonted ascendancy.

    ”
