My enemies are my greatest
friends
I never enjoy more rich
communications from God than when despised and rejected of men
for the sake of Jesus Christ." However
little they may design it, my enemies are my greatest friends.
What I most fear, is a calm; but the enmity which is in the
hearts of natural men against Christ, will not suffer them to be
quiet long; No; as I hope the work of God will increase, so the
rags of men and devils will increase also. Let us put on,
therefore, the whole armor of God: let us not fear the face of
men: "Let us fear him only, who can destroy both body and soul
in hell." I say unto you let us fear him alone. You see how soon
God can stop the fury of his enemies.
- George Whitefield,
Saul's Conversion
