God has often forgiven sinners, but He never forgives sin; the sinner is only forgiven on the ground of Another having borne his punishment; for “without shedding of blood is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). . . . For one sin God banished our first parents from Eden; for one sin all the posterity of Canaan fell under a curse which remains over them to this day; for one sin Moses was excluded from the promised land; Elisha’s servant smitten with leprosy; Ananias and Sapphira were cut off from the land of the living.

This is something that is lacking in today’s ‘church’. The fact that all sin is serious, and just one is damning. There is a gentleman who frequents my sister’s business, this man says he is a believer. His father is a pastor, and he fills in when needed. He was commenting on a bible study he attends, the woman who plays host goes to the store to buy already prepared food. She then takes this food, puts it on plates, and serves others, all the while claiming she made it! My sister pointed out the deception in this, and this part time preacher just laughed it off! Is it any wonder America is in the shape it is in?
