DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks warns against the hypocrisy of those who profess faith
outwardly while harboring sin in their hearts. He emphasizes that many
individuals may speak of God but live in contradiction to their
profession, indulging in and defending their sinful behaviors. Such
individuals not only shame their faith but also risk eternal ruin as
they remain under God's wrath. Brooks calls for self-examination and
repentance, urging believers to align their hearts and actions with
their professed faith.

There are many fair professors who are foul sinners --who have much of
God on their lips--when they have nothing but sin and hell in their
hearts and lives. These men's lives shame their profession. Such
professors . . . live in a course of sin, make a trade of sin, indulge
their sins, take up arms in defense of sin, make provision for sin, make
a sport of sin, take pleasure in sin, and have set their hearts upon
their sin. These are yet in their sins, under wrath, and on the way to
eternal ruin!
