It pierces and winds itself into every corner and chink – Thomas Brooks

SIN is of a penetrating nature. It pierces and winds itself into every corner and chink into our thoughts, words, and works. It will wind itself . . .
into our understandings to darken them, and
into our judgments to pervert them, and
into our wills to poison them, and
into our affections to disorder them, and
into our consciences to corrupt them, and
into our lives to debase them.

Sin will wind itself into every duty and every mercy; it will wind itself into every one of our enjoyments and concernments.
