"Ezekiel thus enumerates the causes that led to Sodom's sin and destruction:
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,
* pride,
* fulness of bread, and
* abundance of idleness
was in her and in her daughters,
Ezekiel 16:49
Many of you are reposing in * false security,
absorbed in * selfish interests,
and attracted by * earthly treasures.
Sin no longer appears repulsive because you are attracted by satan.
The young,
the frivolous,
the pleasure loving,
consider these warnings as
idle tales
and turn from them with jest.
Parents are inclined to think their children about right in the matter, and all sleep at ease. Thus it was at the destruction of the old world, and when Sodom and Gomorrah were consumed by fire."
