"Who with icy breath blights the fair blossom of youth? Who breaks the hearts of parents? Who brings old men's gray hairs with sorrows to the grave? - SIN
Who...changes gentle children into vipers, tender mothers into monsters, and their fathers into worse than Herods, the murderers of their own innocents? - SIN
Who turns the soft and gentlest heart to stone? Who hurls reason from her lofty throne and impels sinners mad as Gadarenes' swine, down the precipice, into a lake of fire? - SIN (Dr. Thomas Guthrie)
Sin is madness! It is derangement! It is insanity! It is not something to be taken lightly or to be "swept under the rug" - so to speak. Sin must be hated as God hates it! What makes it utterly abominable in His sight is when it seeks to veil its vileness by the cloak of religion.
