On June 29, 2025 guest speaker Quinton Mullinax challenged Boyd Christian Church to take a hard look at the state of our consciences. Opening with appreciation for exhausted VBS volunteers, he traced humanity’s age-old attraction to sin—from Eden to today—and anchored the diagnosis in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Mullinax painted unforgettable pictures: a hand edging too close to a campfire, a dog returning to its vomit. Repeating sin, he warned, sears nerves until we no longer feel the burn; we end up living inside the flames we were meant only to warm by. Yet Christ is “the ultimate salve,” able to heal calloused hearts, restore true feeling, and empower believers to deny themselves daily, pick up the cross, and live distinctively in a world addicted to self-destruction. The sermon closed with an invitation to let Jesus re-sensitize our souls and a prayer for personal and national awakening.
