STOP AND THINK We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it. (C. S. Lewis, British Christian apologist)
As Mark Twain pointed out in an earlier “Stop and Think” quote, man is capable of knowing right and wrong. However, the ability to choose and do right rather than wrong requires more than good intentions. The more we struggle against our own inclination to do wrong, the more difficult it seems to overcome.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:57)
