Your mom throws away the tissue that Hollie "Hottie" Harrison blew her sacred bugers in.
"Sorry," she says.
Your little brother kicks the back of your leg as you walk up to meet your date.
"Oops" he says... as he's snickers quietly.
Your best friend steals your girlfriend.
"My bad" he says.
There are accidents (where one does wrong unknowingly) and then there are sins (when one does wrong, knowing it's wrong). The bible makes it clear that God doesn't like sin. But why do we?
In my experience with sin, I always felt that it was like a rush. I felt rebellious and kind of free, in an awkward way. I realized that my rush, my extreme self indulgence, was just me plummeting to earth. When I finally hit earth, it hurt, and my reality was horrible.
Sin feels good. You feel cool. You feel accomplished. You feel free.
But in reality it's not. You're not cool. When you're drunk, your friends make fun of you. When you have premarital sex your future girl friends look down on your purity. When you do drugs, you lose consiousness and leave your self open to demonic possession. For lack of a better phrase, sin sucks. There's nothing cool, or accomplished, or (especially not) free about it.
Subtle captivity is the most depressing, and most common form of captivity. It's Satan's favorite.
Don't leave yourself open.
