Larry Gross: "Junk Food Junkie"

This comical song is about a health food devotee who sneaks out at night for his junk food fix. Have a listen to it here.

Hypocrisy is such an easy sin to be trapped in. Even the best Christian leaders can convince themselves that their dalliances aren't really sins against God Almighty and that nobody will discover them.

Moses figured his fellow Israelites would understand when he killed an Egyptian taskmaster for beating one of his fellows. Exodus 2:12 (Bible in Basic English) shows that he had a guilty mind. "And turning this way and that, and seeing no one, he put the Egyptian to death, covering his body with sand." Of course we know that he fled the country when somebody mentioned his murder.

King David figured he could get away with murder by proxy. But God sent Nathan who told David about a poor man robbed by a rich man of his pet lamb. We read David's reaction and the condemnation on him in 2 Samuel 12:5-7 (BBE). "And David was full of wrath against that man; and he said to Nathan, 'By the living Lord, death is the right punishment for the man who has done this:" And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.' And Nathan said to David, 'You are that man. The Lord God of Israel says, "I made you king over Israel, putting holy oil on you, and I kept you safe from the hands of Saul;"'"

And all through Christ's earthly ministry, the Pharisees kept trying to stone him. We read in Matthew 23:13-15 (BBE) how he condemned those fakers. "But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.  A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves."

If our Lord hasn't returned by Saturday, I hope to post about God's holiness and what it means to us.
