Every commercial is a temptation, an enticement, a lure, to purchase a product or service. It’s the newest, better, car model. It’s the faster, lighter laptop or the quicker cheaper service guaranteed! Like all enticements they come with a promise of fulfillment, satisfaction, and peace of mind.

    We convince ourselves, and at times our significant other, just how much we actually need it. How our lives would be bettered by it. Maybe even how we would save both time and money! The allurement to sin is much the same as a commercial. It tells us first how miserable we are without it. It tells how much better it will be once we have it. Like a politician it promises way more than it can ever deliver.

    Truth be told sin is fun but only for a very short moment. Then comes the shame, the guilt, the sleepless nights, the thought of getting found out, the thought of trying to explain the why of it all. Then comes the blame game because it really wasn’t our fault. Someone else made me do it. Sin will always cost you more than you are willing to pay. Sin will always take you farther than you ever wanted to go. Sin will always keep you longer than you wanted to stay.

    What was once a small temptation is now your master. The good news is that there is one, and only one, who can break sins power over your life and his name is Jesus! Decide to be free today by putting all your faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
