John Newton quote
I'm reading a bio of John "Amazing Grace" Newton. His quote about Calvinism is pretty much the way I feel too (though I'm sure I'm quite as convinced as he is).
"I am an avowed Calvinist, by Scripture, reason, and experience. Yet I feel much more union of spirit with some Arminians than with some Calvinists. And if I thought a person feared sin, loved the word of God, and was seeking after Jesus, I wouldn't walk the length of my study to try and convince him of Calvinist doctrines."
Well said, John!

Often, right living speaks louder than right opinions.
