Sin Is Lawlessness

I was listening to this sermon by Paul Washer. He is a preacher and the General Director for HeartCry Missionary Society He was talking about people who love the world compared to people who love Jesus.

He was saying...

"You have not sinned against an inferior prince. You have not sinned against a small mayor from a small village; you have sinned against the Lord of glory, the King of Kings, the Lord of lords. You know not what you've done."

"Imagine this... Here stands God on the day of creation. He looks at stars that could swallow up a thousand of our suns. He looks at them and He says, "All of you stars, move yourself to this place and start in this order and move in a circle and move exactly as I tell you until I give you another word." and they all obey Him.

He says, "Planets, pick yourself up and whirl. Make this formation at my command until I give you another word."

He looks at mountains and He says, "Be lifted up." and they obey Him.

He tells valleys, "Be cast down." and they obey Him.

He looks at the sea and says, "You will come this far." and the sea obeys... and then He looks at you and says, "Come." and you say, "No!"

Look at the horrid wretchedness of sin. The vulgarity. The prostitution of sin. It is a horrid thing, not something to be triffeled with. It is a beast and it is waiting at the door and it's desire is to have you.

Anyone who practices sin practices outright, open, clentched-fisted rebellion against the Lord of glory.

What do you think about most? ...because that's what you love."

Amen and amen! What a powerful statement about the condition of peoples hearts. I pray that the Holy Spirit would draw people to a true relationship with Jesus and that we would stop playing Christian.
