"If this be so of real trials or hardships, which require the thought of Christ's Cross to sustain us—of sorrows which can only be endured through the blessed hope that they make us like unto Him who was made perfect through suffering—what must be said of fancied trials, of discontent, of grumbling, of an unthankful heart in the midst of many mercies? What must this be, beloved, but the most grievous tempting of the Lord?"
-- James de Koven; Sermons Preached on Various Occasions - Sermon II, TEMPTING CHRIST
