Sin Is Deceitful

In preparation for our new preaching series Killing Sin, I've been rereading a book called Licensed to Kill by Brian Hedges. It is extremely helpful, and very easy to read. You can get it on Amazon, and copies will be available for sale at CNCF when we start our series this Tuesday at 8 PM in Ballantine 304.

Hedges points out the realities of sin we must understand in order to effectively wage war on sin:
Sin is deceitful. "But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called 'today,' that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin" (Hebrews 3:13). Sin portrays itself as something other than what it really is. Sin comes to us in disguise. Sin looks satisfying, but hidden beneath the pleasing exterior are death and destruction. Sin is chocolate-covered poison. And, as this passage warns, sin's deceitfulness puts us in a precarious position. As leprosy damages the nerves, rendering a person incapable of feeling pain, thus tending toward disastrous injuries, so sin deadens our hearts to the warnings of conscience, tending toward the destruction of ourselves and others. (23–24)
