Episode notes
Guard Against Growing Desensitization To Sin
- Beware of thinking lightly of sin and guard against growing desensitized to moral failures.
- Frazer Blaxland warns that small tolerances escalate: little sins lead to larger ones and unholy presumption if unchecked.
Tender Conscience Can Be Worn Down
- Young converts often begin with a tender conscience that fears even slight sin but worldly pressures dull that sensitivity over time.
- Blaxland compares early piety to a sensitive plant that becomes a pliable willow through rough handling.
Small Sins Accumulate Into Great Harm
- Familiarity with sin normalizes it: what once startled us becomes 'a little one' and then grows into habit.
- Blaxland uses metaphors—foxes, coral insects, drippings—to show small things cause great ruin.
