"Yet we in our day, much as we love to sing Amazing Grace (I suppose because we like the tune), are not inwardly amazed by grace as the Puritans were; it does not startle us that the holy Creator should receive sinners into his company; rather, we take it for granted! 'God will forgive. That's his job!' was the final scoff with witch the French cynic went to meet his Maker." - - Dr. J. I. Packer - A Quest For Godliness - The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life
