Wednesday night at Disciple Bible Study we talked about the 10 commandments. I was reminded of something that one of my professors said in seminary: "it's not that God doesn't want you to have fun, God is against sin because it is bad for you."
I love that thought for two reasons. First, it is encouraging to think that God wants us to enjoy life. He is not against us having fun. I like that. Second though, is the reminder that sin will hurt us. It just does. Sin is a great deceiver. It always promises what it cannot deliver. The end result is pain.
Now the best news of all that is that if you have sinned, there is a remedy. Ask for forgiveness. Believe that you are forgiven, and don't do that stuff anymore. God will heal you.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
