While they are promising them freedom, they themselves are existing as slaves of corruption. For whoever is overcome by another is enslaved by this one. -2 Pet. 2: 19, NW.

The adversary may use male influence in the congregation, as a modern Balaam force. He may also use female influence, like Jezebel’s, to bring about the corruption of those who belong to God's people. He can use either sex to induce the temptation. His aim is, not just to cause ruin to some individuals, but rather to corrupt the entire organization and to bring reproach upon it and its God and so to prejudice honest persons against it. There is every need now for us to pray and watch against temptation to immorality, especially now when we are so close to the new world. If we have escaped from the sink of corruption of this world, why should we let ourselves be dragged back into it under false, glamorous inducements of 'free love' and of easy forgiveness from a merciful God for our sins of immorality. Do not be roped in by promises of freedom of conduct. It means slavery. W 4/15
