Consequences of Sin
In his Turning Point Daily Devotional for June 21, 2005, David Jeremiah points out that sin always has unintended consequences. Take the Seattle man, for example, who tried to steal gasoline from a motor home. Attaching a siphoning hose to the vehicle, he started to work; but police found him shortly afterward writhing in agony in the street. Seems he had attached the hose, not to the gasoline tank, but to the motor home's sewage tank! The owner declined to press charges; he was too busy laughing.
Facing the consequences of our sins, however, is no laughing matter.
Col 3:25 KJV - But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Some people think when they confess their sins to God, He dismisses the consequences; but that's not always the case. He does forgive the guilt, and He forgives freely; but sometimes the consequences remain. When we sin, it's important to confess it and accept God's pardon; but better to avoid sin in the first place.

By our standards South Pittsburg Would be considered out in the sticks at that time, but they had a soda shop at the local drug store. That is where all the young people hung out. Billy Bob was happy with his lot in life, they lived in a nice house in town, that even had inside plumbing. Billy Bob's dad worked at the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet Factory, everything in Billy's life seemed to be perfect.
He had Friends and his dad gave him an allowance.
One day disaster stuck, and Billy Bob's dad came home and declared "I'm sick ...
