Charles Spurgeon
Do not try to make the Gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.
1 Corinthians 3:6-8
