Spurgeon Speaks

I was reading a devotion from Spurgeon this morning and came across a quote that I thought puts everything into perspective, not just about what is to come, but about what is already happening, mainly sin.

"The Lord would have His chosen display discrimination so that they may see that the desolation of the wicked is not a real calamity to the universe. Sin alone is evil; the punishment which follows thereupon is as a preserving salt to keep society from putrefying. We should be far more shocked at the sin which deserves hell than at the hell which comes out of sin."
