Greetings
I send you in the name of
Christ Jesus. There are a lot of seemingly silly things to talk about and
words in language to discuss; however, the word sin is one crucial
word commonly overlooked, but should NEVER be overlooked! Sin leads to
personal costly mistakes, and destroys trust and relationships! There is clearly an endless list of “sinful” headlines exempting no
class of individuals, occupation, or organization. This is why
it is written: “for all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God.” -Romans 3:23 The secular/worldly people
(irreligious people) especially desire to evade (escape; a subtle endeavor
to avoid the truth) the fact that SIN exists… as if there is not a God
requiring of created man an adherence to strict morals for good reason!
It is written:
"Furthermore, since they did not
think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a
depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become
filled with every wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of
envy murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers,
God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil;
they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless,
ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do
such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things
but also approve of those who practice them.” -Romans 1:28-30
"And the Lord
said to Cain, Why are you angry? And why do you look sad and dejected?
If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do
well, sin crouches at your door; its
desire is for you, and you must master it." Genesis 4:6, 7
Amplified Bible
GOOD
NEWS: "Look,
the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" -John 1:29
“This is a
faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15

"There are things a man must not do even
to save a nation." -Murry Kempton;
Quotationary,
Leonard Loyd Frank "From first to last, God pursues
the sinner as he flees from him; pursues him not in hatred, but in
love; pursues him not to destroy, but to pardon and to save."
-Horatius Bonar Hymn writer and Pastor
(1808-1889)
It is written: "No one who
lives in him [Christ Jesus] keeps on sinning. No one who continues
to sin has either seen him or knows him."
-1 John 3:6
“Create in me
a new heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.”
-Psalm
51:10
Morality in Government
“There is hardly a family who hasn’t, at
one time or another, dreamed of coming away from the cares and pressures of
life and the sinful world around them to settle down on some peaceful
homestead… there to enjoy the Lord, His Creation, and to raise and enjoy their
family in an atmosphere that promotes Godliness and wholesome cooperation,
kind attitudes, and valuable character for life.” The Homesteaders,

It is written: "When tempted, no
one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil,
nor does he tempt anyone: but each one is tempted when, by his own
evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed." - James 1:13, 14.
"All of the legislation in this American nation has earned us the
reputation as the world's leader per capita in abortion, alcoholism, drug
addiction, and pornography (this surpassed Hollywood 11 billion versus 9
billion). Divorce, problem gambling, and hatred are skyrocketing. Prisons
are full, and debt is at its greatest in history."

It is
written: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man
reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature,
from that nature will reap destruction."
Galations 6: 7,8
(This scripture pertains to
entire nations too!)

It is
written: "There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to
him: haughty (prideful) eyes, a lying tongue (emphasis added),
hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet
that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a
man who stirs up dissension among brothers." -Proverbs 6:16-19
"I don't want to reflect on my fellow
politicians, but if every politician that ever lied was incapable of
holding of service, I'm not too sure of how many we'd have left."
-James Jefford, Vermont (USA) Representative [career politician]; quote
taken after a press conference; Burlington Free Press (year 2000)

[Jesus:] “If I had not come
and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have
no excuse for their sin.”
–John 15:2
The wise man and woman gives careful
attention to this issue of sin because he or she knows that sin causes loss
of integrity and trust instantly, and adds to much social turmoil (a state
of great confusion or disturbance). Believe the reality that no person
benefits when being the object (recipient/victim) of another man’s sin, for sin
violates Christ’s Royal Law of Love. Read for yourself how sin is defined
in an ordinary dictionary:
Sin- 1. a transgression of divine
law. 2. a willful violation of a moral principle. 3. a serious fault or
offense.
The legal profession likes to come across publicly as “good people” when
they refer to their having “ethics” (morals); however, they never seem to
enumerate them (name one by one) like the Holy Bible does. If "They"
Have All The Answers. Sin separates you from God, and keeps
you from Heaven! Here are most of the moral principles NOT to violate as
clearly revealed in the Holy Bible:
