Sin Is Never Personal

How tragic. When I read this it reminded me of the fact that when we sin, it is never a personal issue. It affects others, it has a ripple effect.


A man transporting his wife's severed head in a pickup truck crashed into an oncoming car, killing a woman and her 4-year-old daughter, police said. The impact sent the head flying onto the road.

Little did this man know that when he took the life of his wife, he also would be taking the life of two other people as well. It is unspeakable.

Ultimately, all sin is against God as recognized by David when he writes "against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight..." [Psalm 51:4].

But I can not help but grieve for this family that lost the mother and 4-yr old daughter because of the sin of this man.
