Daily Bread For December 9, 2011
Read : Romans 6:11-18
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors- not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. - Romans 8:12
Following the terrible Mexico City earthquake of 1985, live satellite coverage carried the news to a watching world. Mountains of broken concrete filled the TV screen. Rescue workers dug frantically. Fires raged. Smoke and dust filled the air. Then suddenly in the corner of the screen appeared the words "Courtesy : SIN".
The letters S-I-N actually stood for Spanish International Network, but for a moment it meant something different to me. It reminded me that all trouble, pain, and suffering can be traced back to the problem of din. That's not to say that God judged Mexico City with an earthquake. but if sin directly or indirectly causes such tragedy, it deserves to be treated with contempt, not courtesy.
Since all human anguish can be traced back to the entrance of sin into this world, how can we take it so lightly? Why do we comply with an evil that causes a loving God to react with a judgement described in Revelation 6? We don't owe sin anything. Jesus paid sin's debt and broke it's power when he died on the cross and rose from the grave. By living in the power of the resurrection, we can avoid the "courtesy" sin offers. The wages of sin is death (Rom.6:23), and that's a courtesy we don't need. - Matt De Haan
God Will Give Us The Victory If We Will Go To The Fight.

Through sin and wrong may flourish now
And God seems far away,
The spread of evil will be checked,
For God will have his day. - D. De Haan
