Satan warms himself at the fire!
(Thomas Watson, "Doctrine of Repentance")
Proverbs 14:9
Sin is a foolish thing.
What greater foolishness is there,
than to gratify an enemy!
Sin gratifies satan.
When lust or anger burn in the soul--
satan warms himself at the fire!
Men's sins feast the devil.
Samson was called out to amuse
the Philistines. Likewise the sinner
amuses the devil!
Nothing more satisfies him--
than to see men sin. How he
laughs to see them hazarding
their souls for the world--
as if one would trade diamonds
for straws; or would fish for
gudgeons with golden hooks!
Every wicked man shall be indicted
as a fool, at the day of judgment.
"But GOD said to him--
You fool!
This very night your life will be
demanded from you!" Luke 12:20
