Is Satan’s offer worth the trade-off?

 


Satan gives Adam a fruit, and takes away Paradise.

Therefore in all temptations let us consider not what he offers, but what we shall lose.

Richard Sibbes* (1577-1635)
Preacher/Author/Bible Teacher 

 

Richard Sibbes was a Puritan preacher in the 17th century, who galvanized his generation for God. He was known as “the heavenly Doctor,” due to his godly preaching and heavenly manner of life. Izaac Walton described him as  "Heaven was in him, before he was in heaven".  Another person who heard Richard Sibbes preach said, “No man that ever I was acquainted with got so far into my heart or lay so close therein.”. May God raise up more such men of God who will challenge, convict and convert our generation for Him – John
