Have you ever known men who will perform an admirable
deed to make up for a bad one?
In the reformation these actions were called indulgences.
The church leaders would use this guilt money to build the great
cathedrals we see in Europe today. Of course this was wrong
and the men who challenged this corruption were called Protestants.
Men continue this practice in private.
The cathedrals being built are false ones in the heart.
We build false hopes thinking this balances our disobedience.
You cannot compensate by sacrifice what you lose through disobedience.
The only way to pay the debt of sin is through confession.
Forgiveness comes when we renounce our sins.
Jesus then forgives, heals and restores.
Men, you cannot afford sin. Only Jesus can pick up that tab.
Bro. David
