Aren't You Glad There is a Way Back Home?! by Neal Hatfield

Psalms 51:1-13 is so powerful. We see a broken man who is haunted by his sin. I can almost assure you that when David was in bed with Bathsheba, the satisfaction of sex was out of this world. He never thought that this short term pleasure would lead him to lie, kill a man, see his baby die, and so much more. Any way you cut it, sin is ugly. Sin’s pleasures are so temporary, but the results are so eternal.





I have learned a few things about sin in my thirty-one years of knowing Christ.

1.  It is not worth the temporary fun it brings.

2.  If I get too close to sin, my thoughts get all messed up and I make bad decisions.

3.  I realize that I could commit any sin a lost person can, and I need to be honest with myself that I am very weak in many areas.

I am so glad that the Lord makes a way back home for sinners. I love I John1:7-10. Read it, pray it, and believe God wants you to come back home to Daddy.  In my next blog post, we will go even deeper into Psalms 51.
