The document discusses the nature of sin and how it progresses in six steps from vanity of the mind to greed. It begins with fuzzy thinking and questioning biblical truths. The second step is darkened understanding and rationalizing bigger sins. The third step is alienation from God and feeling withdrawn from the church. The fourth step is hardening of the heart and losing guilt for sin. The fifth step is engaging in lewd and dangerous behaviors. The final sixth step is giving in to greed and uncontrollable self-indulgence. Each step gets progressively worse as sin is likened to a seed that starts small but can destroy if not kept in check.
