January 18, 2005: A Mess In Our Lives:

We have seen on the television now for many weeks the horrific devastation left behind all around the edges of the Indian Ocean as a result of the Boxing Day Tsunami. Its amazing to watch the video footage and seem the power in the waves. In a similar way, many of our lives are a huge mess too as a result of the terrible power of sin. If you allow sin to have a place in your life it WILL make a mess, there is no doubt about that. However the worst aspect of sin is that is cuts us off from a relationship with God. Of course there are many suffering people who have been cut off from loved ones because the tsunami took them away. My advice is this; do not let sin take away your relationship with God, because that is an even worse situation to be in.
