“You say that you can handle your secret sins,
that there is no one hurt by them.
But you may as well ask the lion
to let you put your head into his mouth.
You cannot regulate his jaws: neither can you regulate sin.
Once done, you cannot tell when you will be destroyed.
You may put your head in and out a great many times;
but one of these days it will be a costly venture. “
Charles Spurgeon
“Spend your time in nothing which you know
must be repented of;
in nothing on which you
might not claim the blessings of God;
in nothing which you could not review
with a quiet conscience on your dying bed;
in nothing which you might not be safely and
properly doing if guests surprise you in the act.”
Richard Baxter from John Haggai’s, How to Win Over Worry
