1 Kings 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you… Collins the free-thinker met a simple countryman one Sunday morning going to church. He asked him where he was going. "To church, sir," was the man's reply. "And what do you do when you get there" said the free-thinker. "I worship God." "Pray tell me," said Collins, "whether your God is a great God or a little God?" "He is both," said the man. "How can He be both?" said Collins. "Why, sir," was the answer, "He is so great that the heavens cannot contain Him, and so little that He can dwell in my heart." Collins afterwards declared that this simple answer from the countryman had more effect upon his mind than all the books the learned men had written against him. (Quiver.)
