The Volcano Effect - Eruption

Sin has consequences.  Apart from Christ the primary consequence is death.  This death involves separation from God.  The problem is that often sin, like a volcano lies dormant.  It seems harmless and we continue to live in close proximity to it.  In fact, there is almost a sense of pride that develops because we can live in such proximity to such danger and not get burned. And then the mountain erupts.  Lava flows and destroys all in its path without concern for those harmed.  This is the true nature of sin.  No matter how much we live with it, no matter how much control we think we have, the eruption will eventually come, and when it does it brings with it total devastation. 

Are you living with a sense of proximity to sin that you have grown comfortable with?   Perhaps it is the sin of pride, or the sin of lust, or the sin of ________________ (fill in your own here).  Do you know the eminent danger of the sin or have you begun to trust it as harmless?  Beware of the coming eruption!
