“We worship a tender Father as well as a ‘consuming fire’ (Hebrews 12:28-29). Sin can’t breath in an atmosphere of fear and reverence before God. It suffocates. Can you imagine your lust cheery and prosperous when you are on your face before a holy God?”
–Kris Lundgaard, The Enemy Within (Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R, 1998), 131.
