What kind of reactions should we have toward our sin? Thomas Goodwin says this,
Work in your hearts a hatred of sin… If a man had killed your friend, or father, or mother, how would you hate him! You would not endure the sight of him, but follow the law upon him. Send out the avenger of blood with a hue and cry after thy sin; bring it afore God’s judgment seat, arraign it, accuse it, spit on it, condemn it and thyself for it, have it to the cross, nail it there, if it cry I thirst, give it vinegar, stretch the body of sins upon his cross, stretch every vein of it, make the heart strings crack; and then when it hangs there, triumph over the dying of it, show it no pity, laugh at its destruction, say, Thou hast been a bloody sin to me and my husband, hang there and rot. And when thou art tempted to it [sin], and art very thirsty after the pleasure of it, say of that opportunity to enjoy it, It is the price of Christ’s blood, and pour it upon the ground. … Shall I live upon that which was Christ’s death? Shall I please myself in that which was his pain? Shall I be so dishonest, so unkind, as to enjoy the pleasure for which he endured the smart?
—Thomas Goodwin (1600—1679), Christ the Mediator in The Works of Thomas Goodwin (RHB), 5:294.
I found this excellent quote on Miscellanies Blog.

Debunking Darwin ( oh what fun!!!)
The Mysterious Island, I can't wait to see. The kids and I read many articles in the Answers in Genesis Magazine about the errors of Darwin and the Galapagos Islands, which we found most fascinating. And now, to hear of this new documentary coming out right around the anniversary of the Origin of Species, yes, how fresh and wonderful. I always feel so suffocated by all this evolution crap we normally hear, that the creationism we read about through Vision Forum and Answers in Genesis is so refreshing!!!!!
So here's a link to the preview to the documentary.
