A Reason to Cry

Someone (it may have been Mark Twain) once said, "The doctrine of sin is the doctrine that enjoys both the least general acceptance and the most objective proof."

I just witnessed a stranger saying to his over-tired, crying and disobedient three-year-old, "Keep it up, and I'll give you a reason to cry."

There are few sentiments which prove with greater acuity humanity's need for saving.

I believe it was Chesterton, but Twain may have said it too!

Thanks for the excellent feedback on my PCUSA exegesis exam.
