Temptation: Recognize it for what it is, and then reject it—immediately and without compromise.

The same Book that tells us over and over again of God's love warns us constantly of the devil who would come between us and God, the devil who is ever waiting to ensnare men's souls.

Sin then is not a toy with which to play but a terror to be shunned.

Satan wants to lure us into his traps, and he knows exactly what kind of "bait" will appeal to us. He knows what we're like, and he will attack us exactly where we are the weakest.

Satan rejoices when old habits overwhelm [us] and we cave in to the pressure of the crowd . . .perhaps temptation lures [us] into sin . . .a backsliding Christian compromises their faith and causes unbelievers to mock the Gospel.

The devil will try to discourage you, to divert you; he will seek to dilute your testimony; he will attempt anything to destroy your relationship to Christ and your influence upon others.

One of the most conspicuous modes of escape is alcoholism, which is now a national catastrophe.

If you don't take your stand for Christ, you will be on the wrong side, and someday when it is too late, you'll cry out, "I've taken the wrong stand!" You'll be in the devil's trap! You can't lick the devil.

In a decadent society the will to believe, to resist, to contend, to fight, to struggle is gone. In place of this will to resist, there is the desire to conform, to drift, to follow, to yield, and not give up.

In his warfare against God, Satan uses the human race, which God created and loved. So God's forces of good and Satan's forces of evil have been engaged in a deadly conflict from the dawn of our history. Unless world leaders and statesmen understand the true nature of this warfare, they will continue to be blind leaders of the blind.
