Micah Chapter One

Read Micah Chapter One

It has been a while since I have read Micah. In this first chapter I find it quite interesting that Micah brings his message from God to Israel, yet it is directed at the entire world. Israel is not the only country or people that have fallen into this sinful lifestyle that Israel is guilty of. We here in America today have fallen into the same trap. Don't understand what I am referencing? Check out chapter one in The Message, then come back here...


Read it?


We are just as guilty for having "sex and religion shrines." Legalized pornography freely available, and usage statistics virtually identical within the church as outside. Prostitution freely engaged in, soft-core porn on prime-time television and in commercial advertising. We worship at the altar of illicit sexuality. Sex has become such a primary focus that God and His desires takes a back seat. And look at what happened to Israel because they allowed the same thing to happen. The entire population was condemned for this.

Makes you wonder about how sin affects the people around you, eh? Is there such a thing as sin that merely affects you?

What do you think?

Everything you do effects someone. Be it a good deed or a sin. Like the stone in the water creats a ripple affect. When you are in a familly you must keep this in mind
