FROM TODAY'S READING...
"If the serpent sneaks in his head, he will draw in his whole body after him. Greater sins do sooner startle the soul, and awaken and rouse up the soul to repentance, than lesser sins do. Little sins often slide into the soul, and breed, and work secretly and indiscernibly in the soul, until they come to be so strong, as to trample upon the soul, and to cut the throat of the soul."
Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
English Puritan preacher and author
Genesis 3:13 (NLT) Then the Lord God asked the woman (Eve), "What have you done?” "The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”
1 Corinthians 5:6 (NIV) Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?
2 Corinthians 11:3 (NIV) But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
