Fire is not always bad...if you're fireproof!
All sin separates us from God. You should know that. Every sin is capable of destroying the soul of man. I think that the first sin was probably pride: "ye shall be as gods", and most other sins reflect that. In our lives in a multitude of ways, we try to put our own desires above God as if what we want is more important. In its extreme, man forsakes God and worships himself, as one may easily see in many aspects of american culture. But it also causes those who should know better to fall away in futility for lack of surrendered reliance. I'm not saying per se that it is the worst: lethal injection, a nuclear bomb, and a bullet to the head will all kill you in a reasonably expedent manner; I'm just saying it's prevalent.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6 |
