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

Thomas Brooks emphasizes that small sins often lead to greater sins,
illustrating this with biblical examples such as Cain, Ahab, Jeroboam,
and Judas. He warns that yielding to minor transgressions can predispose
the heart to commit more serious offenses, creating a dangerous cycle of
sin. Brooks stresses the importance of addressing even the smallest sins
before they escalate into habits that can ultimately destroy the soul.
The sermon serves as a call to vigilance against sin in all its forms,
urging believers to cut off sin at its inception.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Little sins make way for greater sins.

Cain's anger is seconded with murder.

Ahab's covetousness is attended with bloody cruelty.

Jeroboam's rebellion is attended with idolatry.

Judas' thievery is attended with treason.

One sin commonly disposes the heart to another sin.

Yielding to lesser sins, draws the soul to the

commission of greater sins.

Oh there is a prodigious evil in the least of sins; it will

quickly multiply itself into all manner of evils. Unless sin

be cut off in the first motion, it will proceed to action,

and from action to delight, and from delight to custom,

and from custom to a habit--and then the soul will be

undone forever!
