Can You Handle It?
Can You Handle It?
By Pastor Lawrence Jackson
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:15 KJV
“I can handle it!” How many persons are playing with a pet sin in their lives believing they can handle things before becoming enslaved to it? The person, who has exhausted all of their life savings at the Casino started out saying, “I know just how far to go.” The alcoholic thought he could handle it; “I know my limit.” The adulterer said, “it was just a mutual companionship.” The substance abuser thought he would never get addicted.
A Texas newspaper carried the account of a seven-month-old infant bitten and crushed to death by an eight-foot long pet python that crawled into her crib. According to Unite Press International the baby was asphyxiated in about five minutes, with the snake squeezing the breath from her lungs.
The python left a series of needle-fine puncture wounds on the child’s face. It had escaped from its glass cage in the living room and slithered into the bedroom where she and her 5-year old sister were asleep.
A short time after the attack the parents found the snake, which they purchased as a family pet curled up on a wooden shelf above the baby’s crib. An angry and hysterical father grabbed the seven-pound python and wrestled it into his bedroom. He stabbed it with a knife, shot it with a .25 caliber pistol, then partially cut off the head with a kitchen knife and threw its pieces back into the room with the dead child.
Just when you think you got your pet sin under control, it will turn out to be the python in your life. “…and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
Can you handle it? ONLY if you say no to SIN.
