Thessal<strong>on</strong>ians 5:22. When a woman relates her<br />

family troubles, or complains of her husband, to<br />

another man, she violates her marriage vows; she<br />

dish<strong>on</strong>ors her husband and breaks down the wall<br />

erected to preserve the sanctity of the marriage<br />

relati<strong>on</strong>; she throws wide open the door and invites<br />

Satan to enter with his insidious temptati<strong>on</strong>s. This<br />

is just as Satan would have it. If a woman comes to<br />

a Christian brother with a tale of her woes, her<br />

disappointments and trials, he should ever advise<br />

her, if she must c<strong>on</strong>fide her troubles to some<strong>on</strong>e, to<br />

select sisters for her c<strong>on</strong>fidants, and then there will<br />

be no appearance of evil, whereby the cause of<br />

God may suffer reproach.<br />

Remember Solom<strong>on</strong>. Am<strong>on</strong>g many nati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

there was no king like him, beloved of his God.<br />

But he fell. He was led from God and became<br />

corrupt, through the indulgence of lustful passi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

This is the prevailing sin of this age, and its<br />

progress is fearful. Professed Sabbathkeepers are<br />

not clean. There are those who profess to believe<br />

the truth who are corrupt at heart. God will prove<br />

them, and their folly and sin shall be made<br />
