Why Is Sin so Prevalent?
Am I saved? Am I headed to heaven? Am I born again? Do I really believe the Bible? Why does sinning seem so easy at times? Why does prayer seem like a task and the heavens seem like brass? Why does my awareness of God’s Word seem so unwelcome in supposedly Christian circles?
Why? How did this come about?
God grant us answers! God grant us tender hearts! God grant us hungry minds! God grant us lives, homes, families, hearts, and congregations that are thirsty for your presence, your word, your will, and your transforming power! God grant us a refreshing revelation of living water! Change us!
Remember the burning? When the Holy Spirit is sternly saying “STOP.” In the quiet times, God confronts us by His Holy Word of Truth, and we squirm. All too often we persist in our excuses, platitudes, wisdom devoid of common sense. We pay more heed to the shameless liars on TV than to the wisdom of our loving, all-knowing Father in heaven.
Yes, sin eats away at the pure, sweet consciences God has bestowed on us. The pangs of guilt become less and less. ‘Though the wrong seems oft so strong…God is the Ruler yet.’
“O God! Forgive us of our shallow and weak faith and courage. Have mercy on us! Let our focus on your Word become once again our pillar of truth and our strong tower! May we become salt & light in this evil world! In Jesus Name, Amen!”
