The Major Problem with Minor Sins

"No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.No one who continued to sin has either seen him or known him."
1 John 3:16

Sin become a crime, not against law but against love; it means not breaking God's law so much as breaking God's heart."

What hurts me most about sin is not that it breaks God's law but that it break His heart.. Sin is not weakness or a disease. Sin is a mockery of His mercy and a disdain of His love. Sin grieves God.
      That's why our Battle against even minor sins is always major. Our sin is an offense to God. The battle may mean putting a lid on backbiting gossip. No more flirting with your best friend's spouse. No more saying one thing to your Christian friends and quite another to your coworker on the job. It may mean tackling subtle sins curbing your appetite, reining in your daydreams, and ceasing to make copies of cassettes that say, "Unauthorized reproduction. Prohibited.
       Does tackling small sins seem too minor? If so, remember that any sin is a choice to fellowship with the Devil. That's why once the spirit convict s you of some sin. .  .the minor becomes major. Once the spirit convict you of some in. . .the minor become Major.
