or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Exodus 22:6
"But what restitution can he make who casts abroad the fire-brands of error, or the coals of lasciviousness, and sets men’s souls on a blaze with the fire of hell?
The guilt is beyond estimate, and the result is irretrievable.
Q: If such an offender be forgiven, what grief it will cause him in the retrospect, since he cannot undo the mischief which he has done!
An ill example may kindle a flame which years of amended character cannot quench.
Q: To burn the food of man is bad enough, but how much worse to destroy the soul!
It may be useful to us to reflect how far we may have been guilty in the past, and to enquire whether, even in the present, there may not be evil in us which has a tendency to bring damage to the souls of our relatives, friends, or neighbors."
Charles Spurgeon
