If the devil can’t lure us
If the devil can’t lure us to do evil, he is content to occupy our minds with things that don’t matter.
Sin takes you, keeps you and cost you
Sin takes you where you don’t want to go, keeps you longer than you want to stay and costs more than you want to pay.
For the wages of sin is death. -Romans 6:23
Don’t let the Devil Nickel
Don’t let the devil nickel and dime your time or your mind. The things that really matter are things we can take with us when we leave this world. The fruits that the Lord is developing in us.
It’s not so much
It’s not so much that the devil tries to lure us to do evil, but that he tries to occupy our minds with things that don’t matter.
It’s the aim of the devil to preoccupy me
It is not so much the aim of the devil to lure me with evil as it is to preoccupy me with the meaningless. — Donald Miller
