 The more we taste of the pleasures of sin - Tiptaft

The more we taste of the pleasures of sin

How we find that there are two principles within
us continually at war, and how they ever wrestle
for mastery! But whatever suits and pleases the
flesh will surely make the soul lean, and bring on
deadness and barrenness.

The more we taste of the pleasures of sin, the
more we get blinded and intoxicated by them, and
the more anxious to enjoy them in this time-state,
whether we go to heaven or not.

Right hands and right eyes are dear to us,
and self-denial is a continual cross.

When we are tried, tempted, and harassed, we want
ease and comfort. Yet we daily learn that without
ballast we should not sail in any way safely on the
seas of temptation. We need chastisements, rods,
and crosses, to bring us to a throne of grace; and
we need a daily sense of our vileness and our sins
to constrain us to fly to the only true refuge for
poor helpless sinners, who is a Friend in need
and a Brother born for adversity.

W.Tiptaft
