The Seriousness Of Sin

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 21, 2013

The Seriousness of Sin Mark 9: 43-48 Evangelist Billy Sunday used to say, “One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.” We tend to treat our sin lightly calling it shortcomings, errs, mistakes. We catalogue them into big sins (e.g. ...read more
