It pierces and winds itself into every corner and chink--into our thoughts, words, and works. It will wind itself . . . into our understandings to darken them, and into our judgments to pervert them, and into our wills to poison them, and into our affections to disorder them, and into our consciences to corrupt them, and into our lives to debase them. Sin will wind itself into every duty and every mercy; it will wind itself into every one of our enjoyments and concernments. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/thomas-brooks/it-pierces-and-winds-itself-into-every-corner-and-chink/ ========================================================================
