Beware of trying to patch up a present refusal to walk in the light by recalling past experiences when you did walk in the light.

Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.

One of the penalties of sin is our acceptance of it.

Conviction of sin is one of the rarest things that ever strikes a man. It is the threshold of an understanding of God. Jesus Christ said that when the Holy Spirit came He would convict of sin, and when the Holy Spirit rouses the conscience and brings him into the presence of God, it is not his relationship with men that bothers him, but his relationship with God.

It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God's truth and remain in sin.
