Sheep or swine?
-Spurgeon, "SEPARATING THE PRECIOUS THE VILE"
There is an essential difference between the
righteous and the wicked, even in their sins--
If you see a SHEEP fall into the mire, it is
quick enough up again.
"A righteous man falls seven times, but he rises up again."
But if the SWINE falls there, it wallows in
it again and again,
and nothing but the whip or the stick can make it rise.
As for the wicked, he rolls and revels in
his sin, abiding and continuing in it.
