SIN -its Hardening Effects – Charles Spurgeon

Dr. Preston tells us of a professor who on one occasion was found drunk, and when much depressed on account of his folly, the devil said to him, by way of temptation, ” Do it again, do it again ; for,” said he, ” the grief you feel about it now you will never feci any more if you commit the sin again.” Dr. Preston says that the man yielded to thetemptation, and from that time he never did feel the slightest regret at his drunkenness, and lived and died a confirmed sot, though formerly he had been a very high professor.
