LORD, Cleanse Me from All Sin.

Thomas Watson's choice quotes on SIN
(Thomas Watson)

There is more evil in a drop of sin--
than in a sea of affliction!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

The natural heart is . . .
  the nursery of sin,
  the magazine where all
the weapons of wickedness lie,
  full of antipathy against GOD,
  a lesser Hell!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Morality is but nature refined--
old Adam put in a better dress.
The garnishing of man with moral
excellencies, is but adorning a dead
man with a garland of flowers!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Civility is not grace, although it is a good
wall against which to plant the vine of grace.

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

If a wicked man seems to have peace
at death, it is not from the knowledge
of his happiness--
but from the ignorance of his danger!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

GOD'S long forbearance in not punishing
of sin, is not forgiveness! 
The longer GOD delays the blow--
the heavier it falls when HE strikes!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

The sinner may live in a calm--
but he will die in a storm of wrath!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Sin makes the soul red with guilt--
and black with filth!

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

The love of sin makes sin taste sweet--
this sweetness beguiles the heart,
and ruins the soul. It is worse to love sin,
 than to commit it. The love of sin . . .
  hardens the heart,
  keeps the devil in possession, and
  freezes the soul in impenitence.

  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

View sin in the looking-glass
of CHRIST'S sufferings. 
The least sin cost HIS blood!
