An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Consequences

(Pro 6:35 KJV) He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

This might be a good verse to review at the beginning of most modern entertainment.  Lack of sexual boundaries is a common denominator in the secular media.  There seems to be no such thing as sexually transmitted disease, destroyed children and emotional trauma as a result of the so called “sexual freedom.”  They can criticize the prudes of the past all they want but they had lives filled with much more joy.  This verse reminds us that some sins cause greater calamities than others.  Contrary to those who talk about any tiny sin being enough to qualify us for hell, God has always regarded some as more evil than others.  If you don’t believe that then go compare the sacrifices and offerings necessary for different types of sin.

So?  Christians avoid sin.  When they fail they repent and get on with life.  We need to keep on the alert because the forgiveness of our fellow man may not come as readily as the forgiveness of God.
