Sermon Illustrations

Illustration: Dishonesty is a trait that never works well for the long haul. There was a man who came home drunk and not wanting to fuss with his wife he snuck up the stairs quietly. He looked in the bathroom mirror and bandaged the bumps and bruises he’d received in a fight earlier that night. He then proceeded to climb into bed, smiling at the thought that he’d pulled one over on his wife. When morning came, he opened his eyes and there stood his wife. "You were drunk last night weren’t you" "No, honey." "Well, if you weren’t, then who put all the band-aids on the bathroom mirror?"

Argumentation: No matter how careful or what you say, sooner or later your sin will find you out. Even though we may wish none of us are immune to that.
