Sin – Temptation

A Man’s Actions – Thomas Brooks

A man’s most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.

– Thomas Brooks –

No Such Things as a Saved Sinner – Leonard Ravenhill

You know, people say that today. “Oh, I am just a saved sinner.” That is like saying you are a married bachelor. That is like saying you are an honest thief. … You are either saved or you are a sinner.

– Leonard Ravenhill –

Birds and Temptations – Martin Luther

Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.

– Martin Luther –

Sin Is A Poisonous Weed – AW Tozer

Sin is a poisonous weed that throws the whole nature out of order. The inner life disintegrates; the flesh lusts after forbidden pleasures; the moral judgment is distorted so that often good appears evil and evil good; time is chosen over eternity, earth over heaven and death over life.

– AW Tozer –

When the Church and World Jog Together – Catherine Booth

When the church and the world can jog comfortably along together, you can be sure something is wrong. The world has not compromised—its spirit is exactly the same as it ever was. If Christians were equally as faithful to the Lord, separated from the world, and living so that their lives were a reproof to all ungodliness, the world would hate them as much as it ever did. It is the church that has compromised, not the world.
