Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.

The real difference in the believer who follows Christ and has mortified his will and died after the old man in Christ, is that he is more clearly aware than other men of the rebelliousness and perennial pride of the flesh, he is conscious of his sloth and self-indulgence and knows that his arrogance must be eradicated. Hence there is a need for daily self-discipline.

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don't think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.

Sin is serious—so serious it sent Jesus Christ to the cross. Flee from [sin] and stay close to Christ.

The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.

We can be convicted of sin—we can pray and confess our sin—we can repent—but the real test is our willingness to obey.
