The Description Of a Person Who Stirs up Strife – Proverbs 6:12 – 6:19

Beware of The Bait Satan Uses

I sometimes get this question put to me, concerning certain worldly amusements, “May I do so-and-so?” I am very sorry whenever anyone asks me that question, because it shows that there is something wrong, or it would not be raised at all. If a person’s conscience lets him say, “Well, I can go to A,” he will very soon go on to B, C, D, E, and through all the letters of the alphabet...When Satan cannot catch us with a big sin, he will try a little one. It does not matter to him as long as he catches his fish, with the bait he uses. Beware of the beginning of evil, for many, who started out to go right, have turned aside and perished amongst the dark mountains in the wide field of sin. ©. H. Spurgeon - Source Unknown).
