Never...

Lose one moment of time,
to improve it in the most profitable way I can.

Do anything I should despite or think
meanly of in another.

Do anything out of revenge.

Do anything that I should be afraid to do it
were the last hour of my life.

10 Lies about Sin

  1. Sin is no big deal.

  2. A little sin won't hurt.

  3. Taking radical action against sin isn't necessary.

  4. God won't mind a little compromise.

  5. It's my body; I can do what I want with it.

  6. I can control my drives.

  7. I won't experience any consequences for my sin.

  8. God is keeping something good from me.

  9. The pleasure sin promises is better and more real than God's pleasure.

  10. Fulfilling my sin will satisfy me.

When God speaks, listen.

When God commands, obey.

When God leads, follow.
