TEMPTATION
The Trojan horseIf they cannot have a fresh dish from Satan's kitchen!
There are 'Jebusites' in every Christian heart!
We must hew our Agags to pieces!
All the devils in Hell, and all tempters on earth!
They put the nickels and the pennies in the collection plate!
A bird that is tied by a string
A sin-expelling power over our lives!
A few, easy, or gentle strokes!
The situation in which she died is instructive:
They are the willing, abject slaves of what is called amusement!
Christ's presence--and sin's presence
We get entangled with some idol
A child can crush a serpent's egg!
Be thankful, my dear, that he treats you as his enemy!
There is a perilous progress in sin!
He took special pains to fetch them out, and hang them up!
The devil's apple has a bitter core!
He and Bacchus were rolling in the gutter together!
Nibbling at Satan's golden baits!
They could burn--but they could not turn!
The temptation, and the opportunity
Buffeted by Satan's temptations
You shall not commit adultery!
Then she pounded the tent peg through his head!
The most subtle, stubborn, and tenacious foe
Some secret sin has long been eating its way to the heart!
Who can come out of the battle alive?
The old serpent is almost sure to be lurking in our path!
Thomas Watson's choice quotes on affliction!
Silently entwining their invisible threads into a cable!
It is never safe to make pets of tigers!
They want to keep just as near to Sodom as possible!
No wonder if Satan get into the saddle!
Not allowing the inclination to sin--and the opportunity to sin, to meet!
My subtlest and strongest enemies are within myself!
This wretched state of sin and temptation
It pierces and winds itself into every corner and chink
Lest Madam Bubble bewitch them with her vile suggestions
We are not ignorant of his schemes!
Lost unregenerate men know nothing of this struggle!
Satan warms himself at the fire!
The sword which wounds the red dragon!
Like a ball and chain around his ankle!
Be acquainted with the whole range of sensual desires
They play with fire--and wonder why they are burned!
Not whom he may bite--but devour!
It would make him pull his hat over his eyes!
Have you learned your lesson so badly?
Nibbling at Satan's golden baits!
First she looked--and then she lusted!
Linked together with adamantine chains!
The cockatrice must be crushed
I would soon fall into gross sins!
If this cockatrice is not crushed in the egg!
Instead of lodging the lion and the leopard and the wolf!
Tempting, seductive, dangerous and ruinous
This lion of hell is ever hunting after his prey!
But who is our greatest enemy?
Satan promises the best--but pays with the worst!
Lord, I feel my own utter helplessness!
Have you not brought this on yourselves?
This is the very knife that cut the throat of your child!
Painted pleasures, sugared poisons, envenomed baits
Soul-killing plots, devices, stratagems & machinations!
Were we left wholly in its hands!
The poor creature went on eating the cheese!
A man too big for temptations to conquer!
Some secret sin has long been eating its way to the heart!
The way to escape from the power of sin
He never lacks an apple for an Eve!
What a battlefield is the heart
Such a perpetual and unceasing conflict?
Save me, and I shall be saved!
What are all the gilded toys of time?
Under the influence of strong temptation
We have wolves in our own hearts!
Looking for some victim to devour!
What a treacherous foe dwells in our bosom!
The slippery and insidious nature of vice
An apple in exchange for a paradise!
It will come in at every chink and crevice!
Can they beat back this monster to his filthy den?
Let us make thorough work of it!
Friend, can you understand my riddle?
The sins and slips of the saints
One sin, trifled with--tampered with!
Avoid light, trifling professors of religion!
The slimy trail and the deadly venom of the serpent!
Eternity with all its magnitudes
This wily devil
The tyrant of the soul?Every kind of sin
We resolve that the murderers shall die!
Avoid light, trifling professors of religion
Self-reliance?
The way to escape from the power of sin.The strong man sinks down into a babe!
Watch!
The path of spiritual declension
The more secret and delusive lusts?
Spiritual Joy!We shall always find him at Church!
