SIN IS EVERYWHERE

By Jeremy Burkes
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

When someone says sin it can make us think of many different things. Sin is telling a lie. Sin is watching a bad movie. Sin is overeating. Sometimes our actions and activities are sinful. When we are at the workplace or with friends we must understand that our actions speak louder than words. When someone tells an unclean joke or is talking about a sinful movie, how we respond can tell a lot about our relationship with God.
When we sin we are a lot like Adam. When God walked in the Garden of Eden, Adam hid himself from God. When we have sinned sometimes we try to hide ourselves from God when God wants us to come to Him in prayer.
There is a song in our hymn book entitled "Just As I Am". This tells us exactly how we should come before the Lord. We need to go before the Lord just as we are, sinners. Paul said, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
You can approach God today just as you are. Another song says, "Take your burdens to the Lord and leave them there."
Whatever you are dealing with, if it is sin, or if you have other burdens take it to the Lord.
