Sin overthrows kingdoms. It pulled angels out of heaven, and it pulls men down to hell. Who sees a house on fire and doesn't sound the alarm to warn those who live there? Who sees invaders march into the land without setting the beacons ablaze? Who sees devils like roaring lions continually devouring souls without crying out? Above all, when we see sin swallowing up a nation, sinking a nation, and bringing its inhabitants to worldly, spiritual, and eternal ruin, shouldn't we cry out and say, "They are drunk but not with wine. They stagger, but not with strong drink. They are intoxicated with the deadly poison of sin.
