Hardened By Sin
The writer of Hebrews warns in Heb 3.13-14, for his readers not to become hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. This is such a dangerous trap. I do what I want to, and the more I do it, the less real God becomes. This is something which Dietrich Bonhoeffer saw clearly. He once wrote, "When lust takes control, then God becomes unreal." Just so. Beware, Oh Christ-follower that you do not become hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Beware, O my heart, that you do not become hardened by the deceifulness of sin.

I believe Piper wrote in his book "Battling Unbelief" that sin is so tempting because it makes grand promises of happiness and fulfillment. Yet, fails to come through because it will just leave you empty demanding more.
I believe Piper was correct on that! At least, thus it is in my experience.
