Cranial Capacity: Kinda Crammed

So I was reading some Christian magazine articles online (here) and wow! There was some great stuff, I picked out a few quotes that really hit me...

"Sin grabs us with rational truth ("it will feel good") while discarding subsequent facts ("until it doesn't"). Sin has a great salesman: a voice that knows how to overmarket its temporal benefits while downplaying the imbalanced cost."

Of course sin feels good! While else would people want to do it? We don't like pain, and sometimes doing the right thing is just oh so painful...

"Sin separates us from God and from one another. Sin separates us from peace. Sin separates us from joy. Sin destroys family, relationships, community. Sin forges a wedge of hatred between cultures, denominations and political parties. Between interest groups, races and genders. Sin convinces us that we are right and everyone else is wrong and that this distinction is more important than love. Sin numbs a heart until it no longer yearns after people—and eventually no longer yearns after God.Regardless of how hard you attempt to defend your life habits, regardless of how acceptable they are in modern society or church community, if those habits accomplish any of the above, they are sin."

Sin... kind of like satan, it's around to steal, separate, kill and destroy. If we could only learn to love more, because love pushes these things, and sin out.

I've been learning so much today I fear my brain may explode soon!
