Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.

The truth of the matter is that all we have to do is live long enough and we will suffer.

The more clearly we see sins horror, the more we shall treasure the cross.

The cliché, God hates the sin but love the sinner, is false on the face of it and should be abandoned. Fourteen times in the first fifty Psalms alone, we are told that God hates the sinner, His wrath is on the liar, and so forth. In the Bible, the wrath of God rests both on the sin (Romans 1:18ff) and on the sinner (John 3:36).
