Many who set out well in the Christian life are losing spiritual strength, and placing themselves in the enemy′s power, by their indulgence in vain and trifling conversation. They cannot look up to God with holy confidence to ask for needed strength. By their irreligious course they bar the way of souls that might have come to Christ. Let these careless triflers remember that every word and act is photographed in the books of heaven. No human hand can erase one disgraceful blot.... (OHC 305.4) MC VC
