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

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the grave consequences of sin in his sermon
'Misery Here--and Hell Hereafter,' warning that failing to confront and
kill our sins will ultimately lead to our spiritual death. He likens sin
to a viper that brings destruction if left unchecked, urging believers
to recognize that any compromise with sin invites Satan into their
lives. Brooks stresses that true peace cannot be found in sin, only
misery in this life and eternal separation from God in the next.

("Hypocrites Detected, Anatomized, Impeached,

Arraigned and Condemned" 1650)

"Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your

earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust,

evil desires and greed, which is idolatry." Col. 3:5.

You must be the death of your sins--or they will be

the death of your souls.

Sin is a viper, which always kills where it is not killed.

There is nothing gained by making peace with sin--but

misery here--and hell hereafter. Every yielding to

sin is a welcoming of Satan into our very bosoms!
