Incapable of Hearing the Voice of God

Posted on by under Andrew Murray

Where the sanction of the Christian world, or the force of habit and custom, or the apparent insignificance of what we do, makes us think little of the sin, it has a terrible power to deceive the professing Christian. And through this deceitfulness of sin, be it worldliness, or unlovingness, or pride, or want of integrity, hearts are hardened, and become incapable of hearing the voice of God.

Andrew Murray, The Holiest of All, p. 138

Satan Doesn’t Need To Tempt You

Posted on by under Obadiah Sedgewick

Let a man set up any sin in delightful contemplation and meditation, that same inward acting of his sin, either actually casts him upon the outward adventures, or invites them…. Satan shall not need to tempt him much who has already tempted himself; and he who will work sin in his heart, a weak occasion will draw it out into his life.
