Payday, Results
Sin: a moment of gratification; an eternity of remorse.
Resist
It is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all
that follow it.
Franklin
Sowing and Reaping
Wild oats need no fertilizer.
Clear Conscience
A gash in the conscience may disfigure a soul forever.
Spurgeon
Priorities
Bad things in life are enjoyed first and paid for later, but
good things in life are paid for first, then later enjoyed.
Priorities
Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is
wrong, even if everyone is for it.
Determination
No one can honestly or hopefully be delivered from temptation
unless he has himself honestly and firmly determined to do the best
he can to keep out of it.
Ruskin
Sin Stains
You cannot think dirty, you cannot talk dirty, you cannot act
dirty-and be clean!
Resistance
Temptations, when first we meet them, are as a lion that roared
upon Samson, but if we overcome them, the next time we see them, we
shall find a nest of honey within.
John Bunyan
Appropriate
The time is never right to do a wrong thing.
Sin is Never Discounted
One thing to be sure of – there will be no reduction in the
wages of sin.
Backslidding
To explain why you backslide does not justify it.
Narrow, Straight Path
Some people have yet to learn that they cannot travel in the
wrong direction and reach the right destination.
Sin will expose itself
The Devil always gets out a few extra copies when a saint goes
wrong.
Exposed
If we cover our sin, God will uncover it; if we uncover it to God,
He will cover it with His blood.
Try Your Best
It is a sin to do less than your best.
Bob Jones, Sr.
Trap
Better shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
Dryden.
Numbness
The further a man goes in lust and iniquity, the more dead he
becomes to purity and holiness. He loses the power to appreciate
the beauties of virtue or to be disgusted with abominations of
vice.
Spurgeon
Immodesty
Where modesty is absent, virtue has no means of protection.
Forgiveness, Forsake
Sin must be dealt with in one of two ways – punishment or pardon.
Responsibility
Do not blame God for the harvest when you do the sowing.
