WHAT IS SIN?

Sin will keep you from this Book. This Book will keep you from sin. --Dwight L. Moody

Romans 5:12, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

            Sin has been defined by so many; falling short, missing the mark are the two that come to my mind. Recently I heard this definition: Missing the right mark and hitting the wrong mark.” That gives us a whole different view on what sin is. No matter how hard we try, we will never hit the mark in and of ourselves. It is only by God’s marvelous Grace that we are able to hit the mark of God’s righteousness.

Society has its own view of what sin is. Mike Lester shares this with his Theology Classes:

Society calls sin an accident, God calls it an abomination.

Society calls sin a blunder, God calls it living in blindness.

Society calls sin a chance, God calls it a choice.

Society calls sin a defect, God calls it deviant and a disease.

Society calls sin an error, God calls it enmity.

Society calls sin a fascination, God calls it a fatality.

Society calls sin a mistake, God calls it madness.

Society calls sin a luxury, God calls it leprosy.

Society calls sin a trifle, God calls it a tragedy.

Society calls sin a weakness, God calls it wickedness.

            Will you continue to have pleasure in sin? If so, know this Truth found in God’s Word, it will only be for a season and after that, you must stand and give an account of your life.

Hell is Hot and Heaven is Sweet!

Don't let scoffers laugh you into hell; they cannot laugh you out of it. -D.L. Moody

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18

People are being deceived by the millions. They sit back and laugh at the Christian who will not smoke, drink, chew, or run with those that do. They mock at their stand against abortion and homosexuality. They ridicule those who take a stance that there is only one way into Heaven.

I’ve got one thing to say…STAND THEREFORE! For those who laugh, mock, and ridicule will be the last ones laughing come judgment day!

Death is coming...are you ready?

As men, we are all equal in death. -Publilius Syrus

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27

One thing is for sure; death is coming. It will come to every man, woman, boy and girl. It doesn’t matter how rich or poor, how old or young, how beautiful or ugly, how famous or recluse. When death comes knocking at your door there is nothing you can do about it. But what you can do right now is be prepared for it. Do you know Jesus as Saviour? He is the only one that can save us from an eternity in Hell. Consider with me Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
