“I know that a lot of people today have a burning desire to live it up, but at what cost? You want to be popular, you want to fit in, but at what cost? The moth earnestly desires the light of the flame, but at what cost? Many today are toying with the flames of evil desires, and the result is that you are going to be scarred for the rest of your life, if you live through it.— Evangelist William St. John
“Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul…” 1 Peter 2:11 (NKJV)
