"Let us beware of loving the world more than Christ.
Entreat people to repent and come to Christ;
but bid them at the same time to count the cost."

Temptation to sin ... J.C. Ryle

"We are too apt to forget that temptation to sin will rarely present itself in its true colors. Never when we are tempted will we hear sin say to us, "I am your deadly enemy ... I want to ruin your life." That's not how it works. Sin, instead, comes to us like Judas with a kiss ... But we cannot alter its nature and character in the sight of God."
