Where sin abounds, I Can't Go Potty!!!!   Sunday, April 10, 2005

​

I was on a recent trip where I flew into Washington D.C.  The pilot came over the speaker and announced a rule that stated no one was allowed out of their seat, including the "potty", once we reached thirty minutes to landing.  I found out it was because of security reasons, brought on by 9-11.

Wow...because someone sinned, I couldn't use the "occupied".  It reminded me of Matthew 24:12 which tells us that when sin is flourishing, love grows cold.  Sure enough, because of the sin of 9-11, more "love" was taken away resulting in, shall we say, waiting until we landed.  (And of course, just the thought of not being able to go...well...you know).

​

Isn't it sad that sin causes us to hold back on love?  You've got to be careful how you show affection or someone will think you're up to something.  And even when you try to be nice to people, some wonder what your motive is.

Satan is a jerk!  He delights in causing people to hold back on love.  After all, didn't Jesus tell us to love?  And because of sin, even someone else's, our witness is dampened. 

​

Just a reminder this week that Satan is the father of hate.  He's the father of sin.  He's a jerk.  Don't cause the world to cut back on any more love by sinning this week.  Live a righteous life and maybe God will open up a door for you to share His love with someone else.
