—2 Kings 15:32-36
by: Leota Stevens.
Yeast is a busy little organism and it hates solitary confinement. Once it gets started growing, it just doesn’t like to stop. As long as the conditions are favorable for its reproduction it will continue to spread. Sin displays similar characteristics. When you tolerate one sin, it becomes easier to tolerate another—pretty soon your life becomes a veritable Petrie dish environment for the infectious, joy-robbing disease of tolerated sin.
Like young king Jotham, the disease may not kill us or our love for God, but it will certainly dilute our impact on the world.
