We spend enormous amounts of time and money on fad diets, expensive exercise machines, and health clubs. For many people, these things only demonstrate their preoccupation with the physical side of life . . . but even more important is taking care of our souls.

The greatest roadblock to Satan's work is the Christian who, above all else, lives for God, walks with integrity, is filled with the Spirit, and is obedient to God's truth.

We constantly pass up the rich and beautiful and ennobling experiences and seek out the tawdry, the cheap, and the degrading. These are the works of the devil, and they flourish on every side!

It has always been a mark of decaying civilizations to become obsessed with sex. When people lose their way, their purpose, their will, and their goals, as well as their faith . . . they go "a whoring." It is a form of diversion that requires no thought, no character, and no restraint.

The word lust [can] mean "selfish desire." . . .It is wanting something so badly you will do anything to get it. That is one of the tricks of the devil. It is too high a price to pay.

The human conscience is reliable only when it is guided by the Holy Spirit.

As a person finds God's will for his or her life, matters of conscience can be handled with perception from the Holy Spirit.

Millions of professing Christians are only just that—"professing." They have never possessed Christ. They live lives characterized by the flesh.

The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.

We don't live in an ideal world, but in a world dominated by sinful, selfish desires.

The difference between the non-Christian and the Christian is that the non-Christian makes sin a practice; the true Christian does not.

Only by a life of obedience to the voice of the Spirit, by a daily denying of self, by full dedication to Christ, and by constant fellowship with Him are we enabled to live a godly life and an influential life in this present ungodly world.
