"'Everything is permissible for me'—but not everything is beneficial. 'Everything is permissible for me'—but I will not be mastered by anything." 1 Corinthians 6:12 (NIV)
"Sin--both the act and our response to the act--really does matter.
Yes, God forgives. And He brings healing and restoration to all of us who surrender our failed attempts and shattered dreams to Him.
But in light of sin's painful consequences--hardened hearts, spiritual deafness, and shattered lives--doesn't it make sense to do whatever we can to avoid sin as much as possible?
Isn't it easier to guard the wellsprings of our hearts today rather than sorting out a messed-up life later on?"
Quoted from Having A Mary Spirit by Joanna Weaver.
