Christ Cleanses the Heart
The very fact that one seems "strong to sin" is evidence of his lack of power to overcome the sin. The leper most stricken with disease is the least able to recover. The stream which is fullest and runs strongest with corruption from a corrupt source is the less likely to cleanse itself. The human heart is the fountain whence "evil thoughts proceed, fornication, thefts, murders, adulteries, covetings, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness," and not until the fountain is cleansed by creative power can perfect good come from it. Praise God, Christ can cleanse the heart. Yield it to Him. Settle it forever that God's law perverted is not God's law. God's plan perverted is not God's plan. God's gospel perverted is not God's gospel. God's life perverted is not God's life. The anathema of God rests upon the preaching of the perverted gospel; what about the preaching of a perverted law and perverted life? The preaching of the perverted gospel puts man in the place of God. The preaching of the perverted life puts human life in the place of the divine. "He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him."
