Takes off the relish

"Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself."

John Wesley's mom said that.

We always want to know exactly how far is too far. Is this OK? "'So-and-so' is doing this, maybe I can." This is the perfect measuring stick.
