Who is the undertaker that digs man a grave? Who is the painted temptress that steals hisvirtue? Who is the murderess that destroys his life? Who is the sorceress that first deceives andthen damns his soul? Sin.“Who, with icy breath, blights the fair blossom of youth? Who breaks the hearts of parents? Whobrings old men with sorrow to the grave? Sin.

Sin makes you stupid… It will take you further than you ever would be willing to go, and costyou more than you would ever be willing to pay.

There are no little sins because there is no little God to sin against.
