Why is my boat sinking?

Plug the holes

Plug the holes

Stop entertaining sin


When I lived in Ellensburg, there was a box trailer that was turned into a wood workshop and during the winter is was full on cold there. A propane guy came out and mentioned the holes – they were fairly small but he pointed out the fact that those wholes significantly reduce the temperature in the shop. You wouldn’t think such a minor thing wouldn’t throw the whole heating system out of whack, but it did just that! Our lives our the same way. When we entertain little pieces of fear, or what we think are small sins, it affects us in a big way. The holes I described in this story is like little door ways that if not plugged will get larger. A cuss word here, some lust of the eyes there, smoking substances - the lie that says, I only do this once in a while, it doesn’t matter. – how does God feel about what you are doing and what does the word say about it?

What little sin am I entertaining?

In the old testament you had to keep the law in order to be blessed.

 Although we are no longer under the law, sin of any kind small or big is not faith.

If you are not using faith, you will have a hard time keeping afloat.
