Keep shooting.

My topic today is...excuses.lets get something straight,whats an excuse?well,first,let me tell you what "sin"means first:

• Sin-it comes from a Hebrew word that's means to miss the mark.
• Excuse-an excuse means to tell WHY you missed the mark.

Look at Genesis chapter 3-your probably  familiar with this true story-when Eve was tempted in the garden-Satan did tempt Eve and Adam-that's when the world of excuses came about.when Adam and Eve realized that they were naked,God said-"why have you ate from the fruit i told you not to,"and Adam blamed it on God saying,"it's this woman you gave me.this woman convinced me to eat from the fruit-this woman made me do it-the one YOU gave ME.then Eve explained that the serpent convince her to do it-wow-that was the beginning of excuses.

Did you know that we are armed-lets look back to the definition of sin:it comes from a Hebrew word which means to miss the mark-we are equipped with a bow & arrow-if you like gulf,which I don't,you can say that you are equipped with a club and a ball.lets read on to 2 KINGS 13:15-18, here, Elisha commanded to take bow and arrows and smite the ground he only did it once and stoped...."and the man of God was wroth with him,and said,thou shoulderst have smitten 5 or six times....(2 kings 19)-Joash should've hit the ground at least 5 times...but he only hit once...that's us...people keep on missing the mark then stop---NO!we have to pick up our bow and arrow and keep,keep,keep,keep,keep,keep,keep,\shooooooting until you HIT THE M.A.R.K!!!!amen.don't just hit once 3 times then stop-keep shooting 'till you hit the mark.GOD bless.
