FLIES
I remember when I was a kid, mom would always be making bannock. We only had a cook
stove in those days and it would make our shack too hot in the summer, so mom would
cook bannock outside.
Sometimes she cooked in a frying pan on the fire, or sometimes in
an old cook stove we kept outside. I always liked raisin bannock, so I would talk my mom in to
making me some.
Now my sister was a big tease, and she was always doing tricks on me. Of course I
usually managed to get her back. One day my sister told my mom she would help her
with the Bannock.
“Don’t make that bannocktoo hard” I
teased her. “Don’t worry. I’ll make it real good for you,” my sister said.
What I didn’t know was she
had a handful of big black flies she had killed, and instead of raisins, she put those dead flies into one corner of the bannock.
It wasn’t long before my sister brought me
a warm piece of bannock and some
lard…………… I should have known something was
wrong because she was never this nice
to me. I slapped on a big chunk of lard and
watched it melt. “Boy, this is going to be good,” I thought as I took a big bite.
I kind of wondered why my sister was acting so funny and then I noticed that the raisins
were not very sweet-in fact, they tasted terrible.
“Ugh!” what’s wrong with
this?” Then I took a closer look!
My sister and I are great
friends today and every
time we get together, we laugh about the flies in
the bannock. Isn’t it the way it is
though?......
SOMETHING ROTTEN OR DIRTY ALWAYS MAKES A GOOD THING BAD…………
EVENTHOUGH THE REST OF THE BANNOCK WAS GOOD, THE TASTE
OF THE FLIES RUINED IT.
A sinful thought or
action ruins us on the inside before God,
despite the fact that we are
created beautifully in His image.
Hatred, defiance anger and violence.
•Blaming, thinking others are more guilty than you.
Jealousy and playing games that hurt others.
Being controlled by substances such as drugs
and alcohol.
Practicing sinful habits daily, no matter how minor they are in your eyes, is noted by God. Your attitude to sin, reflects your attitude towards God.
Are you willing to turn from your way or do you want to remain spoiled
before God? (Like flies in bannock)
Can you imagine how repulsive our sin is to God. He who is HOLY?
SIN SEPERATES US FROM GOD
GOD
US (SINFUL)
GOD’S LOVE CAN CANCEL OUT OUR SEPERATION. (FORGIVENESS)
GOD
US (SINFUL)
WHICH SIDE OF THE CROSS ARE YOU ON?
