I saw a news story today with the headline "Legalizing Sin". I didn't get the whole story, but it was basically about certain states trying to legalize gambling. The title to this story struck me as being very odd...as if it's okay to sin as long as it's legal. And in all actuality, many people do think that the "little" sins don't really matter. Only the "big" sins count; like murder, adultery, etc. I've even caught myself believing this at times. However, anything that causes God to be second best in our life is sin. Scripture even says that we are enslaved to sin when apart from Christ. Doesn't that mean all sin is illegal because we are imprisoned for it?! Praise God for the redemptive power of His love!! My prayer is that this nation, including myself, would begin to realize the severity of sin. There is no Supreme Court judge or Congress to decide which sin is "legal". However, there is an amazing God willing to forgive every sin and set you free!!
