Fashionable sins',
Back to Man's religion & God's religion 12
"As obedient children, do not conform to the evil lusts
you had when you lived in ignorance." 1 Peter 1:14
Peter warns us against yielding ourselves to the power
and practice of any of those lusts which had dominion
over us in the days of our ignorance—such as the base
and sensual lusts of the flesh—or the more refined
lusts of . . .
money,
power,
pleasure,
fashion,
pride,
worldliness,
fleshly ease
—those more fashionable sins in which a man may live
and walk, and yet preserve his character and good name.
Let the children of disobedience follow after and be
conformed to all these worldly lusts; but let the
children of obedience shun and abhor them as . . .
hateful to God,
deceitful and dangerous to themselves, and
contrary to a holy, godly profession.
"But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy
in all you do." 1 Peter 1:15
