In a parking lot outside a grocery
store, the space in front of mine was empty. Instead of having to
back out, I could go forward and drive out of the spot like all the
professional drivers who back into their spots in the first place. I
put the car in drive and hit the gas, but instead of going anywhere,
I heard a loud "clunk."
It didn't take long to figure out what
had happened. My parking space had one of those curbs they put in
parking lots to keep people from doing the very thing I was trying to
do. Even though I couldn't see it from my vantage point in the
driver's seat, it still was not going to let me go forward, no matter
how much I pressed on the gas.
Sometimes in our spiritual lives, we
seem to be stuck. No matter what we try, we can't seem to move
forward. Often, the problem is unconfessed sin. In this week's
message, we will read from 1 John 3:3-10, where John comes to the
same conclusion twice: sin is serious business. If we are going to
live out our faith, we are going to have to allow Christ to deal with
the sin in our lives.
Hope to see you Sunday!
