The great evangelist, Billy Sunday, used to say when he got up-and-got-going against sin, “I’m against sin. And as long as I have a foot, I’ll kick it. As long as I have a fist, I’ll fight it. As long as I have a head, I’ll butt it. As long as I have a tooth, I’ll bite it. Then one day when I’m old and fistless and toothless, I’ll gum it, till I go home to Glory and it goes home to perdition.”
In Bill Clinton’s autobiography he comments on what he did with Monica Lewis and then he makes a striking admission, “I did it because I could.”
That is what sin is all about. We sin because we can. We sin because God gave us that freedom. God will not force us into repentance and redemption.
It was fairly early in the morning and a woman hadn’t been out of bed very long.
Her hair was still aiming itself in several different directions. And she had just begun to put cleansing cream on her face when she heard a noise outside.
It was the garbage truck. “What is he doing here this early,” she shouted as she made a mad dash to get the garbage out before he pulled away.
She looked a mess and the old pair of slippers she flopped to the street in looked as if they might not last long enough to complete the journey. As she rushed forward the final few feet she cried out, “Am I too late for the garbage?”
The garbage man may then have flunked diplomacy but his reply was priceless, “No ma’am, not at all, just hop right in.”
Sin enough and long enough with no desire to change and you don’t have to hop right in, you’re already there.
Read Luke 6:45 (NIV) and you will find the following more than interesting commentary, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.”
