I … Continue reading You Have Been Sentenced To Death (Leviticus 20)
It's so easy to creep back into bad habits, to slide into the DMs of things that seem just a little wrong or a little dangerous. I mean, the Bible doesn't explicitly say this is a sin! Or doing this just one time won't really do much harm. And is this really all that bad?...Why do we do this?
Summary: I can't be the only person who inspects a bench, table, or chair before I sit at it - can I?
