just a little bite

today i bumped into an old friend. i had a chance to catch up on his life as well as a mutual friend. i was reminded of something that i have been thinking about.

this summer i stumbled across a spiritual truth that i had never really seen before. God opened my eyes to the story of adam and eve. i have talked about this before but i am going to say it again. we have been lied to. we believe that a little bit of sin is ok. adam and eve only sinned a little bit. if you think about it, all they did was eat a piece of fruit. yes there were many deeper things at work but all they did was take a small bite of fruit. thats my point. it may seem simple on the outside but there is much more in the heart that has to be dealt with. it has to be dealt with constantly. we cant get comfortable and begin to sin a little bit. a little bit of sin is not ok. God hates all sin. sin brings death. sin destroys families, friendships, ministries, futures, and the list goes on and on.

just remember, a little bit of sin is what brought death for adam and eve. they were kicked out of the garden because of a simple bite of fruit. it was just a little bite
