“I have learned, for instance, that anxiety is a condition of the heart that gives rise to many other sinful states of mind. Think for a moment how many different sinful actions and attitudes come from anxiety. Anxiety about finances can give rise to coveting and greed and hoarding and stealing. Anxiety about succeeding at some task can make you irritable and abrupt and surly. Anxiety about relationships can make you withdrawn and indifferent and uncaring about other people. Anxiety about how someone will respond to you can make you cover over the truth and lie about things. So if anxiety could be conquered, a mortal blow would be struck to many other sins.”

“Brethren, be mindful of the truth that the deliberate act of sinning, will eventually take us to the point of no return and that is the tragedy of all. Hardened and stiff-necked in sin, we grow cold to all rebuke and discipline. The gentle whisper of the LORD will be gone. The repeated grieving of the Spirit will result in the quenching of the Spirit. Therefore, any desire to seek the Father’s Home is lost! Beware!! Watch your steps!!!”

“How can a sane man go against the LORD? whose gentleness is described like this, “I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them” (Hosea 11: 4, ESV). Tragically, hard-hearted, close-eared, blind-eyed, dumb-mouthed, stiff-necked people are still there acting ‘smart,’ not knowing that their end is near.”
