Default Since I can't sleep . . .

Normally, I think of these things when I'm sitting in a treestand somewhere.

However, this morning I was unable to sleep after another hard night at work and I came up with this.

Imagine for a moment that Jesus was physically here on earth (present tense) and you needed to borrow His car. When He let you use it, would you ever even consider using His car to willfully commit sin?

Probably not.

However, you probably would consider using your body when committing a physical sin. That's a lot like using Jesus' car to sin because "you are not your own. You were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body."

My wife and one of my sons were using our vehicles when I thought of this (I was stranded -- AGAIN).

Excellent Dave ......that was a very good modern day parable.
