Analogy Of The Sting

Satan doesn't always work with temptation all at once, trying to get us with a home run swing. It's lots of little things that eventually get us tied down. He makes us think that one little sin is ok and that we can just repent and nothing bad will happen. But that's how he wears us down to except more and more of these sins until it's too late. It's like him putting a needle and string through just the tippy top layer of our skin, you can barely feel it but it's still there. And everyone of those "little sins" are each time that he wraps that string around and around and around until we can't brake it and it cuts off the blood flow.
