Isaiah 1

What a sermon yesterday!  Love that guy.


I woke up this morning thinking about the passage from Isaiah 1, and something additional dawned on me...  I have heard verse 18 many times in my life, most often in a song;


¹⁸"...though your sins are like scarlet,
   they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
   they shall become like wool."


I realize, of course, that this truth applies to all of our sins.  After the message, though, I realized that in context, the sins being addressed are the rebellion and calloused hearts that turned from God and did not


¹⁷learn to do good;
 seek justice,
   correct oppression;
bring justice to the fatherless,
   plead the widow’s cause."

These are the sins that are like scarlet, and will be made white as snow when we humble ourselves in willingness and obedience to our God, whose heart runs to rescue of His children. 


Don't miss an opportunity to help.  Check out the upcoming Haiti Relief Concert, and International Justice Mission.   Listen to the message from yesterday for more options and details.
