Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, ..
Deuteronomy 6:12
"Beware of Side Issues.--That which Brother D calls light is apparently harmless; it does not look as though anyone could be injured by it.
But, brethren, it is Satan's device, his entering wedge.
This has been tried again and again.
---One accepts some new and original idea which does not seem to
conflict with the truth.
---He talks of it and dwells upon it until it seems to him to be clothed with beauty and importance, for Satan has power to give this false appearance.
---At last it becomes the all-absorbing theme, the one great point around which everything centers;
---and the truth is uprooted from the heart."
