Apologizing for God
A major U.S. denomination produced a pamphlet in which they talked about sin. But because they didn't use the God's Law to bring the knowledge of sin, they almost apologized for God and His requirements. They said, "Not that you're necessarily a bad person, but still ... His standards are higher than you can reach. As the Bible says with some bluntness, ' ... All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.'" But the Bible says that our hearts are more than "bad;" they are "deceitfully wicked."(Jeremiah 17:9) We are enemies of God in our minds. Our carnal mind is in a state of hostility toward God and His Law. Humanity is blind to the truth about sin, until the Law gives us much-needed light. May you and I learn to take the light of the Law and use it as Jesus did. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
