The other day I was travelling down the highway about 18 km/hr over the speed limit when someone went by me going much faster than I was travelling. My reaction was "I sure hope he gets caught by the police." Sure enough a few minutes later there he was at the side of the road while the police officer wrote out a ticket. As I went by I suddenly realized that I also was breaking the law but the police had decided to ignore those that drove under 20 km/hr over the speed limit. Was I any less guilty that the one who got the ticket? We were both speeding. Sometimes that is the way we look at sin. There are little sins and big sins. I may never commit the big sin but I am guilty of the sin and any sin can keep us out of the relationship with the Father.Friday, June 29, 2012

There is also a difference between God's law and man's law, how we judge and how God judges
