- Temptation can come when I least expect it. I must always be on my guard.
- Sin often happens when I am not positively engaged in godly activities (when I'm not doing what I am supposed to be doing).
- I usually have a chance to stop myself if I would only take it. (1 Corinthians 10:12)
- Sin has a way of finding me out... it will be brought to the light.
- Trying to cover up my sin only makes things worse.
- One sin often leads to another.
- Sin tends to harden my heart.
- Even if no one else is aware, God is aware.
- It is easier to be outraged at someone else's sin than my own.
- To sin is to look for good outside of God's perfect provision.
- Sin never satisfies.
- Sin always has consequences.
- Heartfelt repentance is the only appropriate response to sin.
- While my sin has many manifestations, it has only one root -- a heart that craves something more than God.
- Because of the cross, God does not treat me as my sins deserve.
- While sin affects my life, it need not ruin my life.
