Let's Go Back to the Bible

You’re paying $8,500 per gallon

Do you remember when the price of gas started to climb dramatically a few years ago and there was outrage all over the country? Gas went from close to $1.40/gallon in 2000 to pushing $4.00/gallon in 2012. And the cost of everything else increased along with it. Now we seem content for the price to hover near $3.00/gallon. Where did the outrage go?

Speaking of outrage. Do you know how much you pay for ink for your printer? The average black ink cartridge contains 8ml of ink and costs about $18 per cartridge. Do the math. You’re paying over $8,500 per gallon for your black ink. Fortunately you don’t buy that by the gallon.

What’s the point? Think about this in relationship to sin. Does some sin bother us more than other sin? Are there some sins that we can “handle” at small “prices”? The reality is that all sin costs the same–the big ones and the small ones! Even when everyone else seems to lose the outrage toward sin and just accepts it, we must see the real “per eternity” price!
