Holy Influences Resisted Produce Increased Wickedness
2 Chronicles 28:14
So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.


It is very noticeable that those who, in their early days, have resisted holy influences generally turn out the most wicked of men. This, indeed, is a fundamental law of character. Just as a good man, who is good notwithstanding a very bad up-bringing, and despite the most pernicious examples around him, is not infrequently one of the best of men, so a youth who has come from a godly home, and turns out evil himself, is one of the worst characters you can meet with.
