Re: Be Careful Little Eyes What You See
I read the portion of a sermon below and thought of this thread "O Little Eyes":...
"If you see a shameless woman in the theater, who treads the stage with uncovered head and bold attitudes, dressed in garments adorned with gold, flaunting her soft sensuality, singing immoral songs, throwing her limbs about in the dance, and making shameless speeches...do you still dare to say that nothing human happens to you then? Long after the theater is closed and everyone is gone away, those images still float before you soul, their words, their conduct, their glances, their walk, their postitions, their excitation, their unchaste limbs----and as for you, you go home covered with a thousand wounds! But not alone---the whore goes with you--although not openly and visibly...but in your heart, and in your conscience, and there within you she kindles the Babylonian furnace...in which the peace of your home,the purity of your heart, the happiness of your marriage will be burnt up!"
Taken from Christian History magazine: John Chrysostom pg 10 quoted from a sermon by John Chrysostom circa: 385 ad
