sexual sin and canaries

Mike Wittmer wisely writes:

There is something about sexual sin that ruins the minds of previously healthy people. Paul explains in Romans 1:18-32 that idolatry leads to sexual immorality, which swiftly degenerates into a laundry list of “greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.” Such people are “backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning” (v. 29-30).

...

Sexual sin is the canary in the coal mine, the first sign that something has gone haywire in our walk with Christ.
