“Remedy (4). The fourth remedy against this device of Satan, is seriously to consider, “That there is great danger, yea, many times most danger, in the smallest sins.“
‘A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump,’ (1 Cor. 5:6)
A little hole in the ship sinks it.
A small breach in a sea-bank carries away all before it.
A little stab at the heart kills a man.
And a little sin, without a great deal of mercy, will damn a man.”
–Thomas Brooks, Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices, in The Works of Thomas Brooks, Volume 1, ed. Alexander Balloch Grosart (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1866/1980), 1: 21-22.
