A desert nomad awakened in the middle of the night and began eating dates from a bowl beside his bed.
He took a bite from one and saw a worm in it, so he threw it out of the tent. He picked up a second date and took a bite out of it and found another worm. He threw that one out too.
He was very hungry and realized that pretty soon he wouldn’t have any dates left to eat if he continued throwing them out. So he blew out the candle & quickly ate the rest of the dates.
Many of us are like that. We prefer darkness and denial to the light of reality. This week, we’ll continue our series on the “Core of the Christian Faith” by talking about “Sin: What it is and why it Hurts?”
Join us for worship as we study essential bedrock foundations of our faith. Worship services are at 8:30 & 10:00 AM. Live Streaming available at 10:00 AM.
