DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the persistent nature of sin, comparing it to
the mythical Hydra that grows multiple heads when one is cut off. He
illustrates that simply addressing sin once is insufficient, as it
continually resurfaces in various forms. The sermon calls for a deeper,
more consistent effort to combat sin in our lives, recognizing its
tenacity and the need for ongoing vigilance and spiritual warfare.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may say of sin as some say of cats, that they have many lives. Just
so--kill sin once and it will live again, kill it again and it will live
again, etc. Sin oftentimes is like that monster Hydra--cut off one head
and many will rise up in its place.
