When men give the flesh the liberty that it craves, and pamper and please it, and do not deny and restrain it; when their great delight is in gratifying their bellies and pleasing their senses; whatever appearances they may have of religion—all is unsound. A flesh-pleasing life cannot be pleasing to God. ‘Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh’, and are careful to keep it under control, as their enemy (Gal 5:24; 1 Cor 9:25-27). ~ A Sure Guide to Heaven by Joseph Alleine
