Men like also to feast on their fleshly liberty, another of their natural appetites, and Satan knows just how to nurture this desire. Man is a son of Belial, without yoke; and if he must wear one, the one which has the softest lining and pinches the flesh least will please him best. Therefore, when sincere teachers of the Word press sincere obedience to it, Satan's overseers come and say, 'What a hard taskmaster you have! They harness you to continual duty, Come
we will show you an easier way to heaven. ' He who sells cheapest will have the most customers. But in the end, truth with self-denial is a better bargain than error with all its flesh- pleasing.
