The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting.  If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree.

From James 1:14-15:  “But one is tempted by one’s own desire, being lured and enticed by it; then, when desire has conceived, it engenders sin, and sin, when it is fully grown, gives birth to death.”

Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was an English-born, Puritan pastor and Christian theologian.
