Sin Quotes
-
Given the sin of impiety through which they the Romans sinned against the divine nature by idolatry, the punishment that led them to sin against their own nature followed.... I say, therefore, that since they changed into lies by idolatry the truth about God, He brought them to ignominious passions, that is, to sins against nature; not that God led them to evil, but only that he abandoned them to evil.
Thomas Aquinas

-
While we are committing sin we may, perhaps, succeed in putting away all thought of God, and persuade ourselves that, because we have forgotten Him, therefore He neither sees nor regards us. But when He comes forth for judgment this delusion is no longer possible: there is no escape: there may not even be delay: we must, however unprepared, meet Him face to face.
G. H. Pember
-
Confession basically means saying the same thing about your sin as God says. So if you say you want to develop integrity, but you're not willing to face the rough parts and confess them, you won't get there.
