For it is not persecution alone that is to be feared. . . . The Enemy is more to be feared and to be guarded against when he creeps on us secretly; when, deceiving by the appearance of peace, he steals forward by hidden approaches, whence he has received the name of the Serpent. -- Cyprian, martyred AD 256.
"The providence of God is the unceasing activity of the Creator whereby, in overflowing bounty and goodwill, He upholds His creatures in ordered existence, guides and governs all events, circumstances, and free acts of angels and men, and directs everything to its appointed goal, for His own glory." What a wonder! -- J.I. Packer
