Walk Quickly

While wandering through the largest gorge in Europe the other day, I stumbled upon a strange sign. There were falling rocks that could apparently cause a cessation to your life so the sign said, "Walk quickly"

Not turn around. Not wear a helmet, but just move faster.
BEGIN SERMON:
We seem to do that too when we know we're getting close to doing something we shouldn't do. Instead of running away from the evil, we just do it quicker. We don't think about the danger or evil because thinking might make us change our mind. We think the fun of walking under the falling rocks will outweigh whatever consequences there are. Or we think there is no consequence for our sin.

My shell kept me safe from the rocks, but there isn't a shell that will keep us from upsetting God with our sin. Turn around! Run! (It's actually amusing to think about a turtle yelling "run".) Sin is never worth it in the long run.
