Sin is Rebellion against God

First of all, to know that you've sin is to know that God is the creator and has designed the right way to live.  Sin sends a message that you reject God's design and authority. Dealing with sin can put you in some unbearable situations.  I’m here to remind everyone what bible says about fleeing from sin.
•       1 Corinthians 6:18 says when we sin, we offend our own bodies.
•       2 Timothy 2:22, says Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness 
•       Matthew 26:41 Says watch and pray, so you won’t not fall into temptation.

Why do you think God is so concerned whether we sin or not?  Even though sin is rebellion against God’s grand design, He’s more concerned about how your sinful decisions affect you and the innocent, unsuspecting people around you.  See He loves you so much that He was
willingly to enter flesh to firstly be an example for righteous living and to be the living sacrifice needed for the remission of sins.

Let's examine Moses's story..  Needles to say Moses took a lot of flack from people with displaced anger & frustration.  The Israelites were frustrated about wondering in the dessert seemingly without a plan or purpose.  I can't say I'm entirely unsympathetic to their plight.  But before accepting his calling, Moses knew he had a temper.  Often times Moses let his temper get the best of him.  Now God knows that we are flawed people, he has called us to get control of our bodies.


For those that think losing your temper isn't all that bad.  Consider the following scriptures:

Proverbs 13:3
Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin
 
Proverbs 14:17
A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.

Colossians 3:8
But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

Proverbs 15:18 
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.

Proverbs 19:11
Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

Someone once asked me a very good question about the judgement God handed down to Moses.  After Moses in anger struck the rock and included himself as having something to do with bringing water from it.  The question was were was God's forgiveness for Moses?  I agree that Moses was a dedicated servant of God.  I was also very sadden to that it ended for him the way that it did.  One very important thing we need to see is that Moses tried to horn in on receiving praise for a gift that was given from God.  Moses was simply the vessel being us to bring the blessing forth.  It's very dangerous & shortsighted for us to try to get praise for a blessing that was given by God.  Especially if it's taking praise from God. Give praise were praise is due!
