God takes sin very seriously. He hates
sin because of what sin does to his children, and how it has the potential for
ruining lives, homes, marriages, friendships, and/or church congregations, etc.
So much sin in today’s church goes unchecked. So many messages in today’s
church leave out the word “sin”, they do not call the sinner to repentance, and
they do not demand obedience to Jesus Christ. They often placate sin so as not
to offend the sinner, and they water down the gospel message so the sinner does
not feel guilty about his sin, but feels that God’s grace gives him a free
license to continue in his sin and yet still attain heaven. May it never be!
Christ Jesus came to set us free from
sin, and not just free from the ultimate penalty of sin – eternal damnation. He
set us free so sin no longer has to have dominion over our lives, but so we can
be free to not allow sin to control us, but rather for us to be slaves to
righteousness, as obedient (but not perfect) servants of Christ.

An Original Work / December 20, 2011
Weep and wail o’er your sins, children.
God is calling out to you:
Be ye honest; tell the truth,
And it will set you free.
Harken to Him calling you to
Bow on bended knee today.
Don’t delay to let Him in,
And He’ll cleanse your hearts;
Pure within.
Sinners, won’t you listen to Him
Calling out to you today?
He died so that you would be free
Of your sins always.
Turn from your sin. Turn to Jesus.
Obey Him in ev’ry way.
He wants to set you free of
All your guilt,
For which He did pay.
Listen! Listen!
Don’t close your hearts
To His voice speaking to you.
He will give you all of His peace,
If your hearts be true.
He longs for you to come to Him
Humbly now and repentant.
Obey all of His commandments.
Live with Him eternally.
