"Oh, how irresolute a man often is concerning a sin which he knows to be sin, but which enslaves him with its sweetness! Ah, how a man will say, 'I must give it up, but I cannot.' Sin makes a hundred excuses for itself, and pleads, ' Is it not a little one ?'

"O Lord, then give me strength of resolution; and when I know that a thing is wrong, help me to have done with it; and when I perceive an action to be right, help me to make haste, and delay not to keep Thy commandments. O my Lord, may I never try to patch up a peace between my trimming and compromising and Thy Word. If I know a thing to be Thy will, may I never parley nor question; for this is not obedience. The spirit of parley has in it the essence of treason." Spurgeon.
