Sin

Hi Blogger Insiders,

Sin is an offence against God.  Sin is real.  It exists.  Everybody sins.  The Holy Bible says that all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.
Sin is running rampant in our world today.  It has run completely amok.  Sin is institutionalized.  There is corruption at all levels of industry, both public and private.  Sin is destroying individual lives, nations, and the entire world.
Sin has consequences.  The wages of sin is death.  Sin leads to death and hell.  You do not want to go down this road, this "lost highway".  Serious or grievous sin makes you hell-bound.  If you are heavily steeped in sin, I urge you to turn from your sin and repent.  God has let us know that He is already too much offended.
Is it happiness you seek?  God is the source of happiness.  Every sin you commit takes you further away from God and therefore further away from happiness.
Sincere repentance is the first step back to God.  Repent, resolve never to sin again, and confess all your sins.  Catholics have recourse to the Sacrament of Confession offered in the Holy Catholic Church.  If you are Catholic, I desire that you confess and live.  God is waiting for you in the Sacrament of Confession.  For non-Catholics, I desire that you become Catholic as soon as possible.
Man is broken through original sin.  This fallen nature of man is clearly evidenced in our sinful world.  Even in the hierarchy of the Holy Catholic Church, which is composed of sinful men, sin is all too evident.  Yet the grace needed to help fight sin is available in the Holy Mother Church. 
The Holy Catholic Church has seven Holy Sacraments.  These Holy Sacraments were instituted by Christ Jesus the Lord.  The Holy Sacraments help practising Catholics to overcome sin and thus to get to Heaven.  Even with the help of these Sacraments, Catholics fall into sin again and again.  It is impossible to get to Heaven without God.  It was once asked of Jesus, "Who can be saved?"  Jesus answered, "With man it is impossible, but with God nothing is impossible." 
I would ask all Catholics and non-Catholics alike to examine their lives.  Every sin you commit is hurting you and the God who loves you.  Christ Jesus our Blessed Lord says to us, "Go, and sin no more."  The Son of God established His Holy Church (in AD 33) to make the impossible possible.  Avail yourself of God's Holy Catholic Church.
God Bless you,
In Christ the King,
