“ What you do with your resources in this life is your autobiography. ”
Am I getting braver, or just getting accustomed to being terrified?
~ Randy Alcorn
The vermin explain their sin with sanctimonious language like, We've prayed about it and sought counsel, and we feel it's the right thing to do. Don't let it down on them that to the Enemy what they feel is inconsequential. His moral laws don't give a rip about how any of them feel. The sludgebags have no more power to vote them in and out of existence than they have power to revoke the law of gravity.
The conflicting missions of the two armies seemed to have no fog, no gray, only black-and-white clarity. I had lived my life in terms of compromise, rule-bending, trade-offs, concessions, bargaining, striking deals, finding middle ground. In these two great armies, there was no such thing. Good was good, and evil was evil, and they shared no common ground.
Tomorrow's character is made out of today's thoughts. Temptation may come suddenly, but sin doesn't.
