Sin
Homilist
Nahum 1:9-10
What do you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.…


I. THE ESSENCE OF SIN IS SUGGESTED. It is hostility to God. It is opposition to the laws, put. poses, Spirit of God. It involves —

1. The basest of ingratitude.

2. The greatest injustice.

3. Impious presumption.

II. THE SEAT OF SIN IS SUGGESTED. It is in the mind. Sin is not language, not mere actions. Sin is in the deep mute thoughts of the hearts. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."

III. THE FOLLY OF SIN IS SUGGESTED. It is opposition to Omnipotence. In opposing Him, remember —

1. He will completely ruin you.

2. He will completely ruin you, whatever the kind of resistance you may offer. Fighting against God is a mad fight.
