Progressive Sin

Simple statements often lead me to deeper thoughts than those that require deep thought to begin with.

Sin is always progressive in nature. If you give it an inch, it soon seeks to take a mile. Sin is never content, but always seeks and desires more.

Why I Love Study Bibles - Tiny Nuggets of Gold

In reading Jeremiah the following quote is from the study note for verse 2:34:

"Covenant infidelity always leads to ethical infidelity."

We're Back

So lets try and pick this blog back up....

Its been an eventful chapter in this book of life that we are living and writing: Multiple weddings, house buying, Job searching, pain & happiness, and so on. But God has been there through it all. At times it was hard to see Him, and there have been times when we may not have wanted to see Him. But He is gracious and full of mercy, to love us no matter what and to have His un-wavering arms open and ready for us to step into that embrace. The taste of a working relationship with God, one that involves pray, reading the Bible, community with believers, tastes sweet. Its is undeniable that we are most satisfied when we are in that working relationship with Him. So as Paul writes:

"Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 15:56-58
