Hodge: the power of sin

Tuesday, June 5, 2018
    Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754
Meditation:
    Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
    —Mark 14:38 (NIV)
Quotation:
    There are... few stronger indications of ignorance of the power and evil of sin, than the confident assertion of our ability to resist and subdue it.
    ... Charles Hodge (1797-1878), Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, Philadelphia: W. S. & A. Martien, 1864, p. 363 (see the book)
    See also Mark 14:38; Matt. 26:41; Luke 20:40,46; Gal. 5:17; 1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 3:2
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, grant that I may seek only You when in temptation.
