121. SIN         --page 947--

         Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death (Jam.1:15).

         1. Almost the worst sin of all is to just ignore God!
         2. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil (Pro.16:6).
         3. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy (Pro.28:13).
         4. Darkness cannot stand the light,
         And wrong cannot bear the right.
         5. The light that shows you your sin is the light that heals you.
         6. Every sin in your life is a part of the Devil's territory!
         7. You don't have to confess secret sins to others; you only have to confess them to the Lord.
         8. Sin is not just doing something dreadfully bad, but even worse, it is getting out of line with God's Will.
         9. We all have our besetting sins; we just have to learn to resist them.
         10. Sin is missing the mark!
         11. Squeeze--don't jerk--or you'll miss the mark--and that's a sin!
         12. The Enemy has some power over those things which are not yet yielded to the Lord, like some besetting sin.
         13. Failure to report a crime is a crime!
         14. God made man a little lower than the angels--and he has been getting a little lower ever since.
         15. Sin is a spiritual disease! It is a spiritual handicap!
         16. When you miss the pattern somewhere, the further you get, the worse the work is, and the worse the mistake looks.
         17. Unless we know by faith that we're doing the right thing, even if we are doing the right thing, it is a sin--because we're not sure it's right.
         18. Stealing is stealing, and God's Word says he that breaks the least of these commandments is guilty of all!--Because if you'll sin against God in one area, you'll probably sin against Him in any area if you have adequate opportunity and sufficient excuse.
         19. These little departures, variations and variances from the straight and narrow, little bits of deceitfulness, little disobediences, little rebelliousnesses may seem like little things, but are not so little in God's sight.
         20. He'll forgive you for every sin in the Book, except for rejecting Jesus--this is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
         21. Iniquities are somehow worse than just plain sins, it seems like they're more evil, have a more devilish grip on people, not just a little disobedience or breaking of some minor law, but an absolute spiritual control.
         22. If you commit sins against the Lord and others which are unconfessed, unrepented, and not made right, you will suffer for them in some way, in this life or the next, or both!
         23. You can pull out the nails, but the scars are still there.
         24. Murmuring is one of the worst sins!--God hates murmurers almost more than anything else!
         25. To have been shown the love of God and resisted it is the greatest sin! To have been convicted by the Holy Spirit and resisted it and to have heard the Word of God of Christ's Salvation and rejected His Love, these are the greatest of all sins!
         26. The basis of virtually all sin is pride!
         27. A miss is as good as a mile.
         28. Sin will keep you from the Bible, but the Bible will keep you from sin.
         29. The pleasures of sin are for a season, but the consequences of sin are forever.
         30. Lust is an abnormal desire, whether for food, sex or anything else!
         31. To be ashamed of God's children and His Words is something almost unpardonable!
         32. It's not the curse which causes you to sin, it is the sin which causes you to be cursed!
         33. Don't blame every God-damned thing on the Devil when it's sometimes your own damned fault!
         34. When you begin admiring the Devil's work then it's a form of worship.
         35. All suffering, pain, tragedy, sickness, war and death is caused by somebody's sin.
         36. God allowed the Devil to come in and allowed man to fall in order to show the consequence of disobedience to God and the consequence of the violation of His will.
         37. When the heart is wrong, all is wrong.
         38. Some sins are even unto death!--But most are not, and only one is unpardonable: Resisting the Holy Ghost--or rejecting Jesus!
         39. If you think it's wrong, then to you it is wrong and you'd better not do it!
