The fact that sin looks so good is one of the things that make it so bad. In order for it to do its evil work, it must present itself as something that is anything but evil. Life in a fallen world is like attending the ultimate masquerade party.</DIV><BR /><DIV>Impatient yelling wears the costume of a zeal for truth.<BR />Lust can masquerade as a love for beauty.<BR />Gossip does its evil work by living in the costume of concern and prayer.<BR />Craving for power and control wears the mask of biblical leadership.<BR />Fear of man gets dressed up as a servant heart.<BR />The pride of always being right masquerades as a love for biblical wisdom.<BR /></DIV><BR /><DIV>Evil simply doesn't present itself as evil, which is part of its draw.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://theologica.blogspot.com/2008/07/sin-lives-in-costume.html">What does all of this mean? It means that accurate-self assessment is the product of grace. It is only in the mirror of God's Word and with the sight-giving help of the Holy Spirit, that I am able to see myself as I actually am.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/820CCA6C-D021-4593-8BE5-61373AA9AE5C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
