Be Killing Sin Or Sin Will Be Killing You - Proverbs 25: 28
Please let me speak about the heart
indeed the heart of all our aches
where our problems are to be found
so important to know for our sakes
God clearly wants us to know self-control
with His wisdom to exercise His will
for without self-control, one's left broken
helpless and hopeless just being still
Imagine a man with no self-control
like a city broken without any wall
open to every wind of teaching
allowing sin to have the last call
Learn well the words of John Owen
the great English puritan in the past
'be killing sin' for its a poison
to damage your soul to the last
So deal with your sin
or, 'sin will be killing you'
wise words that need obeyed
coming to God saying I do
('Be killing sin or sin will be killing you' - John Owen, English puritan minister (1616-1683)
"A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls")
Proverbs 25: 28 (ESV).
