Be Killing Sin Or It Will Be

The Custom Of Sinning Takes Away The Sense Of It, The Course Of The World Takes Away The Shame Of It.

The New Goddess Contingency Could Not Be Erected Until The God Of Heaven Was Utterly Despoiled Of His Dominion Over The Sons Of Men, And In The Room Thereof A Home-bred Idol Of Self-sufficiency Set Up, And The World Persuaded To Worship It. But That The Building Climb No Higher, Let All Men Observe How The Word Of God Overthrows This Babylonian Tower.

Let No Man Think To Kill Sin With Few, Easy, Or Gentle Strokes. He Who Hath Once Smitten A Serpent, If He Follow Not On His Blow Until It Be Slain, May Repent That Ever He Began The Quarrel. And So He Who Undertakes To Deal With Sin, And Pursues It Not Constantly To The Death.

Let No Man Pretend To Fear Sin That Does Not Fear Temptation Also! These Two Are Too Closely United To Be Separated. He Does Not Truly Hate The Fruit Who Delights In The Root.

All Attempts, Then, For Mortification Of Any Lust, Without An Interest In Christ, Are Vain.
