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.
