Prison of Sin

I will praise the LORD God with a song and a thankful heart.  This will please the LORD better than offering an ox or a full-grown bull.  When those in need see this, they will be happy, and the LORD's worshipers will be encouraged.  The LORD will listen when the homeless cry out, and he will never forget his people in prison.  Heaven and earth will praise our God, and so will the oceans and everything in them.

Psalm 69: 30 - 34

There are many stories about men and women who found God while in prison.  And of course, don't forget the experiences of people like the Apostle Paul who were incarcerated because of their faith in Jesus Christ!  

The prison experience for those who are put there because of a crime against society is indeed like life itself.  

Sin is not just a "one time" event.  It is rather the door to the prison of being addicted to that sin!  I never met a man whose goal in life was to spend even a small part of that life in prison.  

Every man who has not given his heart to Jesus is a prisoner of sin.  All the inmates in that prison of sin are not there for the same "crime" but they have all lost their freedom!

The Lord not only remembers those who are in physical prisons, but also, and I think maybe especially, those who are in the Prison of Sin!  Jesus came to set you free from the Prison of Sin, and He can and will do it by the Power of His Blood!

"Lord Jesus, thank You for remembering those who are in the Prison of Sin.  And thank You, Jesus that You can open the doors to that prison and set us all free!  May Your Name be praised now and forever.  Amen."
