Object Lesson on Sin

A talk was given in sacrament on sinning and as the speaker was giving his talk he held up a white piece of paper in front of him as he spoke he slowly removed the front paper and placed in back of the pile. The paper that followed next was just a tint darker than the paper before it, barely enough that a person would pick up on the sublte difference. After sometime of speaking and changing the paper he showed the difference between the first and last paper which was very noticeable. That is very similiar to how sin sneeks its way into our lives. As we justify little by little and become comfortable with small unrighteous changes we can barely see that we are slipping away from being pure and white. Before we know it we have changed and may feel dirty/dark.
