The Attractiveness of Sin

Sin is so very an attractiveness thing our flesh bows to its allurements believing its suttle words so suggestive its power holds us in its amusements The Bible declares sin so dangerous it corrupts and corrodes the heart makes it deceitful and desperately sick totally blinding us in no small part This evil all came in at the garden in Eden Eve rebelling from all that was good persuading herself the tree was fine food then convinced Adam both misunderstood Sin dresses attractively in our fallen state luring us to think that all is going be right deluding each of us to our own folly no wonder God says stand true to fight Paul warns us speaking to the Ephesians be strong and armed against devil's cunning for our enemy, the devil uses sin to blind us look to the Lord to send Satan running

Congrats Gordon on POTD, few think about sin anymore, for many the word has no meaning, taboos are disappearing quickly. The heart is certainly treacherous Jer17:9 and can lead us astray, if we are not careful!

Thanks John, Glad you liked it and indeed this world would reject its meaning but one day its account will have to be reckoned with. Have a blessed day, Gordon

It is a really terrifying thought that satin and sin are lurking around us always like vulture waiting for their prey to die. But one can sense that something or someone looks too good be true. Woman have a sixth sense, I can't speak for men. Our guard should be up and at the ready at all times, they have been sent back to earth to fool or trick us to commit sin. Well written Gordon. Kind regards, Jennifer

Thanks Jennifer, glad you liked it and yes women seem to have this 6th sense, I don't think men have, at least I don't. Have a blessed day, Gordon

Gordon, Congratulations on POTD!! You have presented here all very compelling thoughts and truths in your quite marvelously-rendered rhyme on "The Attractiveness of Sin." Given the current state of things in our "modern world" as they are today, I think it is very clear that spiritual evil and the subtle machinations perpetuated by Lucifer have certainly not diminished. And today, mankind now possesses the weapons of war to destroy itself and the world!! Enjoyed your poem!! Best Wishes, Gary

If sin wasn't attractive, then the world be a better place indeed. One should flee from wrong and cleave to what is right. Congratulations Gordon, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Got this one correct. A person can be wrapped up in the end result of sin before they realize it happened. Good flow, rhythm and rhyme. Sara
