Charles Spurgeon says in today’s evening of Morning & Evening Devotions:
How monstrous a thing is rebellion! How direful a doom is prepared for the ungodly! My soul, never laugh at sin’s fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself. It is thine enemy, and thy Lord’s enemy—view it with detestation, for so only canst thou evidence the possession of holiness, without which no man can see the Lord.
“My soul, never laugh at sin’s fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself.” I find that to be an interesting statement. One worth consideration. How long do we laugh at sin’s “fooleries” before we come ourselves to it with affection?
How many movies about adultery do I enjoy before adultery seems not-so-bad to me? How much do I enjoy our many public idols going after a glorious self-vindication before I myself crave it?
Interesting question; it deserves my attention.
