A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

The point of election

This truth, may be handled either sinfully or profitably; sinfully as when it is treated on only to satify curiosity, and to keep up a mere barren speculative dispute…This point of election…is not to be agitated in a verbal and contentious way, but in a saving way, to make us tremble and to set us upon a m ore diligent and close striving with God in prayer, and all other duties…This doctrine, if any other, should produce sobriety, holy fear, and trembling. [Anthony Burgess]
