J. Wilbur ChapmanAnything that dims my vision of Christ, or takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps my prayer life, or makes Christian work difficult, is wrong for me, and I must, as a Christian, turn away from it.
About This Quote
James Strong defined sin as “anything that dims my vision of Christ, or takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps my prayer life, or makes Christian work difficult, is wrong for me.” He was speaking about how important it is to be truthful and honest with ourselves about what we are doing. If something is wrong for us, then we must turn away from it and move on to greater things.
