Honey Liar's Have no Power Here!

A good statement to remind us that we have victory in Christ now, why on earth would we go back to the old life, and believe the old lies again.

Context: After the conquering of Isengard. Sarman came out on the balcony of the tower Orthanc (Which could not be destroyed) and was speaking trying to seduce King Theoden (Of Gondor) over to the side of evil. Eomer, The Kings leading soldier, then said.

"Now we feel the peril that we were warned of. Have we ridden forth in victory, only to stand amazed by and old liar with honey on his forked tongue?"

(Chapter 10 "The voice of Saruman" Page #230)
