By degrees men get familiar with sin. The ear in which the cannon has been booming will not notice slight sounds. At first a little sin startles us; but soon we say, "Is it not a little one?" Then there comes another, larger, and then another, until by degrees we begin to regard sin as but a little ill; and then follows an unholy presumption: "We have not fallen into open sin. True, we tripped a little, but we stood upright in the main. We may have uttered one unholy word, but as for the most of our conversation, it has been consistent." So we palliate sin; we throw a cloak over it; we call it by dainty names. Christian, beware how thou thinkest lightly of sin. Take heed lest thou fall by little and little. Sin, a little thing? Is it not a poison? Who knows its deadliness? Sin, a little thing? Do not the little foxes spoil the grapes? Doth not the tiny coral insect build a rock which wrecks a navy? Do not little strokes fell lofty oaks? Will not continual droppings wear away stones? Sin, a little thing? It girded the Redeemer's head with thorns, and pierced his heart! It made him suffer anguish, bitterness, and woe. Could you weigh the least sin in the scales of eternity, you would fly from it as from a serpent, and abhor the least appearance of evil. Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be "exceeding sinful."\n\nCharles Surgeon from Morning And Evening\xa0\n\n\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.\n\n\nBeloved, let us not be deceived by the subtle nature of sin. When we first come to Christ, our hearts are tender and our spirits are sensitive to the slightest offense against God. But as we journey through life, the world around us can harden our hearts and make us more susceptible to the allure of sin. Even as Christians, we can become callous to the sin that once caused us to tremble. We may begin to justify our actions, saying, "It's just a little sin. It's not that bad." But make no mistake, sin is a poison that can slowly destroy us from the inside out. It may start small, but it can grow and spread like a cancer, until it consumes us completely.\n\n\nWe must be vigilant and guard our hearts against the insidious nature of sin. We cannot afford to be complacent or casual in our approach to sin. We must remember that even the smallest sin can have devastating consequences. Like the tiny foxes that spoil the vineyard, or the coral insect that builds a rock that wrecks a navy, sin can have a ripple effect that goes far beyond what we can see.\n\n\nLet us not be deceived by the lies of the enemy, who seeks to downplay the seriousness of sin. Let us instead look to the cross of Christ, where sin was defeated once and for all. Let us see sin for what it truly is - a deadly poison that seeks to destroy us. And let us cling to the grace and mercy of our Lord, who has the power to forgive us and set us free from the bondage of sin. May we never forget the weight of our sin and the price that was paid for our redemption. In Jesus' name, amen.\n\nBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.\n\n\nRSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rss\n\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
