 God Wants Us Not to Fall into Sin Due to Pleasures We Choose Unguardedly ㅡ

 “Neither shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be a cursed thing like it: but you shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.” (Deuteronomy 7:26)

 Are your recreations such as to impart moral and spiritual vigor? Will they lead to purity of thought and action?

 Impurity is today widespread, even among the professed followers of Christ.

 Passion is unrestrained; the animal propensities are gaining strength by indulgence, while the moral powers are constantly becoming weaker.

 Many are eagerly participating in worldly, demoralizing amusements which God’s word forbids.

 Thus they sever their connection with God and rank themselves with the pleasure lovers of the world.

 The sins that destroyed the antediluvians and the cities of the plain exist today—not merely in heathen lands, not only among popular professors of Christianity, but with some who profess to be looking for the coming of the Son of man.
