Ever tried to keep somebody out of the cookie jar? It was no problem if there were no cookies, but once there were cookies, temptation seized anyone nearby. So, too, transgression is born when we become aware of the law. Trying to earn what Christ already paid is when good works are bad.

Verse of the day: Galatians 2:18, "For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a wrongdoer."
