Coke bottles
Read a little story in "Our Daily Bread" yesterday and thought i would share it with all.
A pastor was preaching on the pervasiveness of sin.
"It's everywhere!" he cried.
He told about waiting for a traffic light when he saw the man in the car in front of him finish his Coke, open the door, set the glass bottle on the street, and drive away.
"That was wrong!" He said.
"It was a selfish sin! He could have caused someone to have a flat tire or even an accident."
We don't typically think of littering as sin, but it is clear evidence of our inherent selfishness.
Later, as Louie was greeting people by the door, a Bible professor at the local Christian university said quietly as he walked by, "Sin puts the bottle on the street, but grace picks it up."
God does much more than just "pick up the bottle," He cleanses the heart of the transgressor!
Cut some stuff out to make it a bit easier to read.
Anyway, thought it really left quite a bit to reflect on.
