"WHEN IS IT OKAY TO SIN?" (2)

When is it okay for you and me to sin?  Never.  And yet, whenever we give in to temptation, we are saying, "Today, it's okay to sin."  -- When you are driving on the campus and you deliberately exceed the speed limit, you are saying, "Today, it's okay to sin."  --  When you are in the dorm and you decide to bad mouth another student, you are saying, "Today, it's okay to sin."  -- When you decide to go to a movie that has open displays of sexual activity, you are saying, "Today, it's okay to sin."  --  When you see a wad of money in the bookstore and you reach out for this forbidden fruit, and take it, you are saying, "Today, it's okay to sin."  -- When you decide to leave some earnings off your income tax form, you are saying, "Today, it's okay to sin."  -- When you decide to disobey the rules, you are saying, "Today, it's okay to sin."  --  On graduation eve, when you decide to come on campus after hours and do something that you have been told not to do,  you are saying, "Today, it's okay to sin." 

And what’s your logic in all of this?  Are you thinking,  "It serves my purpose"?  So, you see, it's all about the great and wonderful "ME!" The darkest day in human history happened because Eve thought, "It's good for ME. It's pleasant to MY eyes.  It will make ME wise." Did she care that she would be hurting, harming, and bringing death upon all her children?  Not really.  It served HER purpose, so it was okay.
Think about it.  What makes it okay for you to blaspheme, to despise God's Word, to dishonor your parents or superiors, to hurt your neighbor, to fornicate, to steal, to slander your neighbor, to covet his possessions?  What makes it okay?  Because it serves your purpose at that time?    .  (Prof. John Pfeiffer - Chapel 5/13/2009)

CA 9 FINAL:  Be sure to have your slideshow and music copied up to the laptop. It's not always turned on, so you'll have to turn it on. It doesn't need to be logged on, just powered on. We won't have time to be copying files Tuesday during the test period, so take care of this ahead of time.

YOUR NETWORK FILES:  In connection with the building project, major server and network maintenance will be taking place this summer. If you have files on the school network that you want to save, do so before you leave for the summer. They will be gone when you return. I would suggest a flash drive will do the job well. If you have problems doing this, please get some help. NOTE: THIS APPLIES TO ALL FACULTY AND STAFF AS WELL.
