NO STRENGTH TO RISE
There are some of God’s signals over the inviting archways of the forbidden land. And yet Christians walk cooly past them, and only awake to their danger when it’s too late to return. Like the eagle that sat down on the frozen ground to feed upon its prey, and when it would have arisen, found its great wings so frozen to the ice that it could never rise again, but perished beside its costly pleasure; like the ship that sailed so close to the current that it was not possible to stem the awful tide that drove it over the abyss — so Christian men and women are trifling with forbidden things until they have neither heart nor strength to rise to their heavenly calling.
