Often we think, or at least live like, if no one on earth knows then God won’t... but can we sin in obscurity? Mitch is married to Barbara and Ed, one of his best friends, is questioning Mitch on this very concept by asking if Mitch would stay faithful if he knew Barbara would never find out.

{Video Clip: City Slickers - Start: Chp. 7 - 0:44:47 - End: Chp. 7 - 0:45:49 = 1:02}

Now, I just included Curly’s comment because it breaks me up but the important part of that clip is Mitch’s answer. It doesn’t matter if Barbara knows or not, He would.. And for the Godly person, we add... God would know. You see, one of Satan’s most favorite & formidable weapons is to whisper seductively to us.. "Go ahead, nobody will ever know!" Surprise! Somebody already knows. Heb. 4:13- "Nothing in all of creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."
