Sin And Complacency

1 Corinthians 5: 7

"Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may

 be a new lump, as we are unleavened.

 For even Christ our passover

 is sacrificed for us."

        Paul was dealing with a reoccurring problem. In sexual matters the heathen did not know the meaning of chastity. They took their pleasure when and where they wanted it. It was so hard for the Christian Church to escape the infection. They were like a small island surrounded on every side by a sea of paganism. They were newly into Christianity; and it was difficult to unlearn the generations of loose-living that had been made part of their lives. 

        My friends when we cease to take a serious view of sin we are in a perilous position. It is not a question of being wounded and shocked, it was sin that crucified Jesus Christ; it was to free men from sin that he died. No Christian man can take an easy going view of it. 

        From generation to generation the matters of sin that Paul addressed within the Corinthian congregation is still going on today. The problem I see is that the Government seems to be passing laws against The Christian Law Maker "God. " Some new laws they are passing are against our commandments from God, but be not afraid, for this is the calm before the storm. "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." (Rom. 12:19)

        Amen!!
