“As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.”
~ Charles H. Spurgeon
Notice how we don’t like to talk about sin? In some ways it feels like an old concept, a religious word, a word you want to avoid in the marketplace lest someone think you are a religious nut. Billy Graham used to talk a lot about sin. Some of our pastors talk about sin. But it’s not an everyday word. Use “sin” in your vocabulary and people might look at you a little funny. But sin is real, and as the Spurgeon quote above indicates, it is pervasive in our characters, our lives, our very make-up.
