This Was Sobering

I got this in an email from Grace Gems which I subscribe to.
Sobering!

One sin lived in and indulged

(Thomas Brooks, "Touchstone of Sincerity")

Satan knows that one sin lived in and indulged,
will as certainly damn a man as many sins; as one
disease, one ulcerous part, may as certainly kill a
man as many diseases.

O sirs! remember that as one hole in a ship will sink
it; and as one stab at the heart will kill a man; and
as one glass of poison will poison a man--so one sin
lived in and indulged will damn a man forever.

One wound strikes Goliath dead, as well as 23 did
Caesar; one Delilah will do Samson as much mischief
as all the Philistines; one vein's bleeding will let out
all the vitals; one bitter herb will spoil all the pottage.

One Achan was a trouble to all Israel; one Jonah was
too heavy for a whole ship; so one sin lived in and
indulged, is enough to make a man miserable forever.

One millstone will sink a man to the bottom of the
sea as well as a hundred; so one sin lived in and
indulged will sink a man to the bottom of hell as
well as a hundred.

Amen Msladybug. We use a lot of the material that Grace Gems so lovingly provides here in our Forums.

Hello Msladybug,

YES - I love Grace Gems and have spent a lot of time on their site reading many old and extremely beautiful Christian materials. I also subscribe to Grace Gems, but their site is massive and well worth visiting fairly often. They continually make more and more old and ageless treasures available completely FREE. Look at the menu on your left and you will see links on Christians Unite to more excellent and free Christian materials for the entire family. I must comment that Christians Unite has an absolutely outstanding area for children. I've spent considerable time enjoying many things on Christians Unite designed for young adults and up, but Christians Unite is for Christian family use, including children.

You will also find a huge assortment of links on Christians Unite to all kinds of Christian services and materials. I can't remember how I came across the link for Grace Gems. I think it might have been on a search for a Bible study I was doing. Regardless, Grace Gems is wonderful.

Proverbs 3:19-20 NASB  The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He established the heavens.  By His knowledge the deeps were broken up And the skies drip with dew.

Hello,
I came across it on another board. I have really been enjoying it and the truths form God's Word that are there.
I miss that and have been wanting to find a church home that has this kind of teaching and preaching.
That is why I listen to Alistair Begg as much as possible either on Skyangel or Moody.

Hello Msladybug,

You will find a lot of material on the forum from the Moody Bible Institute and Grace Gems. If you look at the Poetry and Prose section of the forum, you will see a regular thread for Grace Gems. In fact, I would have posted this today, but you beat me to it.     I'm not complaining, rather I simply wanted you to know that we have a large assortment of good Bible teaching here. Many of us also enjoy doing our own Bible studies. In short, I hope that you have found a home on the net that you enjoy. We do enjoy having you with us.

Love In Christ,
Tom

1 John 1:7 NASB  but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
