Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earthto us.

Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.

When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we pretend that we are seeking.
