Summary

This quote suggests that people who engage in sinful behavior are unlikely to change their ways and seek redemption after the initial portion of a religious sermon. It implies that individuals who have committed sins might progressively lose interest or become skeptical as the sermon unfolds, making them less receptive to the message of salvation. Essentially, the quote emphasizes the importance of capturing an audience's attention and conveying a powerful message early in a sermon to increase the likelihood of inspiring meaningful transformation in the hearts and minds of listeners.
