The Operating System of Sin
Last week I had an experience that reminded me how sin operates.
I didn’t overtly sin against God, but made a major computer mistake that mirrored how evil insidiously deceives us and tries to destroy our lives.
I want to help you never commit my technological blunder and alert you on how easy it is to sin if we’re not paying attention.
As I’ve taught for years, sin is the most expensive thing in the universe.
Here’s how it operates.
I Miss Coats and Ties
This past week Majority leader Chuck Schumer D-NY changed the 234-year old dress code for the United States Senate. Senators will now be able to wear whatever they want on the chamber floor after Schumer directed the sergeant at arms not to enforce the Senate’s informal dress code.
Poof.
Two centuries of etiquette and excellence gone. For what and whom?
This is not the biggest issue facing our nation, but it’s a symptom of cultural rot. I don’t like it.
I miss ties and coats.
An Average Joe Committed to Jesus
On September 1, 2023, just seven miles from our home, Coach Joe Kennedy of the Bremerton Knights knelt silently on the fifty yard line and prayed for ten seconds after a football game.
He had been prevented from doing so for eight long years as he fought for the right to pray in public in our once faith-based nation.
I admire Coach Kennedy, though I’ve never met him. We need more people like him.
We need more average Joe’s who are committed to Jesus.
