Eternal Deliverance
How about you? Can you celebrate the deliverance that Jesus brings . . . an eternal deliverance from sin, brokenness, and separation from God? Our spiritual deliverance is something that “should never fail to be celebrated.”
Idols in Your Life
Jobs, possessions, relationships, money, hobbies and a host of other things serve as the “add on” for many worshipers. It’s sad that today’s passage described Israel. But having been warned of sin’s consequences, it’s even more tragic if this passage describes us today.
Consequences of Sin
Today’s passage issues a strong warning. Sin always brings consequences.
Check Your Heart
Ask God to check your heart. Examine your sexual temptations that lead to the sins of lust, pornography, and adultery. Examine your materialistic tendencies that lead to the sins of greed and avarice. Examine your areas of personal pride that always go before a fall. Each part of the temptation is dangerous enough.
Open Arms
Regardless of how far we have gone, how long we have been gone or how much damage we’ve done, the loving Father waits with open arms to welcome his child (prodigal though he or she may be) back home.
