We need to be regularly reminded of our sin (in spite of what the current American church tells us). We tend to forget the seriousness of sin. We have a way with downplaying our culpability in our depravity. A quote like this helps us to put sin into its proper perspective. Let us never forget that it was "just" one sin that caused the Fall, ushered sin and death into all of the world, condemned mankind, and required the death of the perfect Son of God in our place to satisfy the wrath of the Father. Sin . . . it's definitely the reason for the season. - The Pilgrim

Dear Chet: Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. This was a picture of a book that Joseph Alleine wrote. I got it from an image search on the internet as I did not find any pictures of Joseph Alleine himself. I'm sure if you're wishing to get a book written by Joseph Alleine, you can search the internet. I got the above quote from this Puritan daily devotional. - The Pilgrim

Sin is a hienous thing.

I cry out with the apostle Paul “For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.” [Rom 7:15]

Sin hurts.
