"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he
might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your
faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen
your brothers."
-- Luke 22:31-32 (ESV)

Steadfastness in believing doth not exclude all
temptations from without. When we say a tree is firmly rooted,
we do not say the wind never blows upon it.
... John Owen (1616-1683)
