Ten Principles

1. If God’s against it, so are we.
2. Every sin has its origin in the heart.
3. It is easier to keep the heart clean than it is to clean it after it has been defiled.
4. It is not possible to fight a fleshly appetite by indulging in it.
5. Small compromises lead to great disasters (or little sins lead to big sins).
6. Those who do not love the Lord will not help us serve the Lord.
7. Our sinful habits do hurt those who are following us.
8. It is not possible to fight a fleshly temptation with fleshly weapons.
9. We lose our freedom of choice after we have chosen our actions.  The consequences of our choices are inevitable, incalculable and up to God.

10. God balances guilt with blame.  When we accept the blame for our actions, God, by our repentance and confession, will eliminate the guilt.
