Sin, Seriously

(Pro 14:9 KJV)  Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

And the word for the day is...,drum roll, please,... “sin” (817).  I didn’t expect you to like it.  I would guess that many of you have not heard this word in a long time, at least not as the Bible uses it.  This word for sin has the idea of guilt.  It refers to the residual effect of disobedience and rebellion against God.  We need to understand there are consequences both short, long term and eternal.

So?  Take sin seriously.  Don’t get into the camouflage of a hard childhood or poverty.  They exist but they won’t do for excuses when we stand before the judgement seat.
