Sin Quotes
-
Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness, arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing. The central feature of pride is enmity - enmity toward God and enmity toward our fellowmen.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin.
Josiah Stamp
-
Our sainted aunts prate of living for others while our rich uncles call us mollycoddles for not fighting for what we want. Murder is a patriotic act if you commit it in a uniform; it is the blackest sin if you kill someone while wearing a gray flannel suit.
Nicholas Samstag
-
Always preach in such a way that if the people listening do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you.
Martin Luther
-
If anyone feels his sins, let him come at once, straight, direct, not merely to church, or to the sacrament, or to repentance, or to prayer, but to Christ Himself.

Lukewarm people give money to charity and to the church...so long as it doesn't impinge on their standard of living. Lukewarm people tend to choose what is popular over what is right. Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want to be saved from the penalty of their sin. Lukewarm people rarely share their faith with their neighbors, coworkers, or friends. Lukewarm people are thankful for their luxuries and comforts, and rarely consider trying to give as much as possible to the poor.
Francis Chan
-
Religion's greatest "sin" lies in displacing human endeavor, thought, time, resources and efforts from this world, our only world, in order to exalt a highly unlikely, unknowable, unseeable, unprovable and unbelievable pretend afterworld. The only afterlife that ought to concern us is leaving our descendants (along with the other animals and life we share our planet with) a secure and pleasant future.
Annie Laurie Gaylor
-
Sin is lack of conformity to the moral law of God, either in act, disposition, or state
Augustus Hopkins Strong
-
Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God.
Martin Luther
-
Our sins describe us, and our prohibitions describe our sins.
Russell Banks
-
They say he goes to it with every stable boy and every young buck at the court, and where will that get him when all know it is a sin in the eyes of the Lord, and one day the devil will stick a red-hot poker up his nether parts for all damnation.
Colin Falconer
-
Following Him is walking in the light and not in darkness. Man on account of sin is in moral and spiritual darkness. Believing on Christ and following Him delivers from both. In His fellowship the believer is delivered from the power of darkness, from the power of sin and from ignorance as to spiritual things.
