"It's like driving on icy roads. You see the icy conditions, but you don't slow down. When you see half a dozen vehicles in the ditch, maybe you slow down a bit. Then you come to a terrible accident. You have to slow down because of the gawkers. But then the traffic begins to pick up. You increase your speed also. Past reminders are left behind. Suddenly, a different sort of reminder comes into view …it's a police car. But when the police car is out of view, your speed picks up again. Sin is like an icy road. You can ignore it until you face the ditch consequences. Or maybe an Officer of the Lord, reminds you and holds you accountable. But some of you don't like authority. You continue to choose to ignore it. But, I ask you, does ignoring it change the truth? The point I'm trying to drive home here is, maybe you are like the young man, Rodney, who I helped out of the ditch. Maybe you've heard it too much and are sick of people like me talking about it. But I'd stop going on and on, exhausting you with examples, if you would just slow down and look at the simple truth."
