the pastor at church yesterday referenced this quote and i thought it was worth posting as food for thought:
"The great tragedy is not mainly masturbation or fornication or acting like a peeping Tom (or curious Cathy) on the internet. The tragedy is that Satan uses the guilt of these failures to strip you of every radical dream you ever had, or might have, and in its place give you a happy, safe, secure, American life of superficial pleasures until you die in your lakeside rocking chair, wrinkled and useless, leaving a big fat inheritance to your middle-aged children to confirm them in their worldliness. That’s the main tragedy." - John Piper
it is so interesting to think about how we allow Satan to put the guilt of sin (any sin, not just sexual as referenced in the quote) as a wedge between ourselves and God and therefore rob us of our potential and the greatness that God has planned for us.
