“Pride goes before destruction,” warns King Solomon (Prov. 16:18).
“Be alert and of sober mind,” urges Peter the disciple (1 Pet. 5:8).
“If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you do not fall,” says Apostle Paul (1 Cor. 10:12)
The mind loves to slip from compassion to passion before we know it’s happened, from purity to pride, from lovely to lustful. The sexually tempted person will go to great lengths to justify the tug on the mind and the body follows.
