STOP THE SPREAD...
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all men, because all sinned.
The rocky mountain states have a problem... It is growing! There is a little beetle that can affect one tree in a stand of thousands of acres of evergreens and soon it spreads like wildfire until whole forests can become dead.
So it can be with sin in our lives... Romans 3:23 tells us that, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God".
One seemingly small sin left unchecked can spread and multiply until you have the death of a useful spiritual life. We all sin, but its when we don't turn from that sin that we stand the chance of losing the battle to that sinful pattern. This is the meaning of the word "Repent"... the turn around, change directions.
If those spruce beetles had been sprayed when they were first discovered, the forest could have been saved. So it is with our life... Kill the sin in your life by confessing it to God and turning from it.
1st John 1:9 tells us, "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness".
Don't let a life style of sinful patterns develop. Kill it before it spreads.
