Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy
that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is
set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
"Satan, the adversary of souls, is constantly at work with his devices
and enchantments, stealing away the senses and 
deadening the feelings to
our highest interest.
---To all the little matters of life the affections
are given free play,
---but in eternal interest the affections are
trammeled, bound as by magical cords...." E.G.W.
