It is loathsome in the sight of God, but the Himalaya say, quicken my
conscience till it feels the loathsomeness of sin. There are no mild
cases of sin, any more than any mild cases of cancer. They're all
deadly.

What does he do in this psalm? He says, Hide thy face, ease of holier
eyes, and to behold iniquity. How do you feel God thinks about the
average congregation in our churches today, where sin doesn't matter any
more? Full of adulterers and liars and divorced people, and all kinds of
crimes that have been done. There's no preaching against sin.

Oh, once God exposes his light on human corruption, and only then do men
cringe and howl for deliverance.
