Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 19, 2015

When you're writing or drawing and you make a mistake, what do you do then? That's right, you use the eraser on the other end of the pencil. God's forgiveness is a lot like this eraser.

Sins Of Omission Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The basic definition of sin is missing the mark. It is missing the opportunity to do good, and choosing instead to do evil, or to do nothing at all. And the nothing at all is often overlooked as being a part of the whole problem of sin.

We are tempted to do evil, but seldom think of the reality that we are also tempted to not do good. It is possible to be doing nothing wrong, and still be living in sin, because of what we are not doing. This is the surprising truth that James hits us with in 4:17 where he says, "Anyone, ...read more

Scripture: James 4:17

Sinful Sympathy Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Chapter 4 shows us three approaches that Eliphaz took to Job, which he apparently thought would be helpful, but which are contrary to the true spirit of sympathy, and thus, must be classified as sinful sympathy, for they do more harm than good.

Tragedy so often leads to bitterness against God. Mark Twain had a daughter who died at the age of 21 because of diphtheria. His wife also died young. He became so angry and bitter that he lashed out at God with the very gift that made him famous, his pen. He wrote and imaginative tale about ...read more

Confession Of Sin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

All sin is sin against God. If we sin against people it is only sin because we violate a law of God. All confession, therefore, is legitimate before God, but not all sin should be confessed before men. Confession is to go as far as the sin.

Charles Francis Berry, a major league umpire, was once asked if he ever made mistakes in calling balls and strikes. He looked at the person as if he were joking, and said, "Of course I may mistakes. My only trouble is I can't admit it." The tragedy is that the inability to admit ...read more

Sin Kills

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 20, 2021

Temptation is common to all human beings. It is a result of the desires that lingers in our hearts. It draws us away from God's principles and fall into sin. This leads to spiritual death as we become separated from God.

TEXT: James 1:14-15 NLT "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death." TEMPTATIONS WILL COME You will be tempted over and over again. These temptations arise ...read more

Lingering In Sin

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Sep 14, 2020

To linger is to continue to stay somewhere, look at or deal with something a little longer than is diserable, especially because you don't want to leave.

The Sting Of Sin

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Sep 14, 2020

Sin stings and the result is death. The venom against the poison of sin is the blood of Jesus.

"For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

What Is Sinful?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 29, 2023

A question that I get from time to time: How do you determine what is sinful? Jesus' answer is it is sinful if it violates either of the Two Great Commandments
