Nibbling at Satan's golden baits!

(Brooks "Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices")

". . . the deceitfulness of sin." Hebrews 3:13

Sin is of a very deceitful and bewitching nature. It will
kiss the soul, and look enticing to the soul-and yet betray
the soul forever! It will with Delilah smile upon us-that it
may betray us into the hands of the devil-as she did
Samson into the hands of the Philistines.

Tell the bewitched soul that sin is a viper that will certainly
kill; that sin often kills secretly, insensibly, eternally-yet
the bewitched soul cannot, and will not, cease from sin.

A man bewitched with sin-had rather lose God, Christ,
heaven, and his own soul-than part with his sin! Oh,
therefore, forever take heed of playing with or nibbling
at Satan's golden baits!
