A wolf that eats up all – Thomas Brooks

Sin is a devouring, a consuming element. Sin is a fire which devours and consumes all; it turned Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes; it has destroyed the Chaldean, Persian, and Grecian kingdoms, and will at last destroy the Roman kingdom also.

Sin is a wolf that eats up all. This wolf ate up . . .
Samson’s strength,
Absalom’s beauty,
Ahithophel’s policy, and
Herod’s glory, etc.

Sin has drowned one world already, and will at last burn our present world up. Oh the hopes, the hearts, the happiness, the joys, the comforts, the souls that this fire, sin, has consumed and destroyed!
