He illustrates how sin has historically led to the downfall of entire kingdoms and has the power to destroy hopes, hearts, and souls. Brooks emphasizes that sin is not only a present danger but has already caused the destruction of one world and will ultimately lead to the demise of the current one. The sermon serves as a stark reminder of the consuming fire of sin and its devastating effects on humanity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sin is a devouring, a consuming element. Sin is a fire which devours and consumes all; it turned Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes; it has destroyed the Chaldean, Persian, and Grecian kingdoms, and will at last destroy the Roman kingdom also. Sin is a wolf that eats up all. This wolf ate up . . . Samson's strength, Absalom's beauty, Ahithophel's policy, and Herod's glory, etc. Sin has drowned one world already, and will at last burn our present world up. Oh the hopes, the hearts, the happiness, the joys, the comforts, the souls--that this fire, sin, has consumed and destroyed! ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/thomas-brooks/a-wolf-that-eats-up-all/ ========================================================================
