In the bookstore of a community college, several years ago, I saw Jonathan Edwards's sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" being sold (in booklet form) as required reading in an English course. God always finds a way to get His Word out.
I had to read it for 10th Grade English in a Roman Catholic high school.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
