I heard this week of a report that a "scientist" recently completed a study that stated that pregnant women can drink some booze and it not affect their baby.... this report was not accepted by other scientists and they are saying that there has not been enough tests to prove this is actually the case.
when I first heard this news report, I laughed. once again we are looking to do "just enough of something that wont hurt me". Ive said it before, we can justify just about anything, and the people of this study have tried to justify "a little drink" while pregnant.
this is a lot like our justification of sin. We want to know from God, how much of this sin am i allowed to have before I make you upset.
if we truly want to know the answer, it is NONE. asking how much of a sin can i do before it becomes sin, is sin. It's just like asking how much fire can I play with before i burn myself!! My dad always told me if you play with fire you're going to get burned.
its the same with sin. if we play with sin, if we entertain sin, if we think about sin, it will lead us into sin! Thankfully, we can have victory over sin, this victory is found only in Jesus Christ.
I want to try this week, not to have "a little sin" because it will lead me into a lot of sin.
