The longer your mind is set on earthly things, the more earthly minded you are likely to grow, and the more will your thoughts be entangled in earthly things.

Many are kept from trusting in God, because they think they have committed so much sin that there is not mercy in God enough for them. He therefore must be sensible, that there is mercy enough, as well as power enough, to save the most vile returning sinner.
