THE NATURE OF SIN
Gary
Richmond, a former zoo keeper, had this to say:
Raccoons
go through a glandular change at about 24 months. After that they often attack
their owners. Since a 30-pound raccoon can be equal to a 100-pound dog in a
scrap, I felt compelled to mention the change coming to a pet raccoon owned by
a young friend of mine, Julie. She listened politely as I explained the coming
danger. I’ll never forget her answer, Richmond said. “It will be different for me.” And
she smiled as she added, “Bandit wouldn’t
hurt me. He just wouldn’t.”
Sin, too,
often comes dressed in an adorable guise, and as we play with it, how easy it
is to say, “It will be different for
me.” The results are predictable. The very nature of sin is destructive –
and anyone who is attracted to sin will be destroyed!
