John Flavel on Revenge and the Heart

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Thursday, May 4, 2017 at 5:30 AM

"Remember that by revenge you can only gratify a sinful passion, which by forgiveness you might conquer.  Suppose that by revenge you might destroy one enemy; yet by exercising the Christian's temper you might conquer three - your own lust, Satan's temptation, and your enemy's heart."

William Bates on Revenge

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Wednesday, December 31, 2014 at 5:30 AM

"ln imitation of God and Christ, we must abstain from all revenge of the greatest evils suffered by us: we must extinguish any inclination to revenge. Sin begins in the desire, and ends in the action. We must not take the least pleasure, that evil befalls one that has been injurious to us; for the root of it is devilish."

William Bates
