Sin and the destruction it brings, reminds me of the story of how Eskimos dealt with
wolves who killed their livestock. They would capture a rabbit or some other small game
and drain their blood. They would take a razor sharp double edged knife dip it into the
blood and then freeze it. By repeating this process numerous times, they would freeze
layer upon layer of animal blood around the deadly blade. In essence a blood popsicle
on a knife.
Then the villagers would take the knife to the outskirts of the village, where the wolves
had been active, and secure the blade on a stick. During the night, when a wolf would
come and smell the blood, he’d start licking and licking. As the wolf would lick away on
the bloodsicle, his tongue would become numb. So as his taste for blood would grow his
lust would cause him to lick faster and faster down and down to the razor sharp blade.
But by this time, because his tongue was so numb from the cold, he wouldn’t feel it as
the blade started slashing his tongue. In fact, what happens the taste of his own blood
would cause him to lick even faster.
By the time the wolf would figure out what was happening it was too late. His tongue
shredded and bleeding profusely, he’d wonder off and bleed to death! (Weird Craig

Galatians 5:16-21 NASB says; But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out
the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit
against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do
the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions,
factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn
you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not
inherit the kingdom of God.
Every one of these sins are a bloody popsicle sin! So what is normal in our society? 90%
of children between 8 and 16 have viewed Pornography online. Pornography use to be a
problem that affected men predominantly, now 1/3 of adult web sites are visited by
women. In 2009, a total of 650,843 young people aged 10–24 years were treated
in emergency departments for nonfatal injuries sustained from assaults. Nearly three out
of four (74%) of Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of
domestic violence. Approximately 92% of U.S. adults who drink excessively report
binge drinking in the past 30 days.2 Although college students commonly binge drink,
70% of binge drinking episodes involve adults age 26 years and older. Some of the
results of excessive drinking are poverty, health problems from Heart issues to children
born with fetal alcohol Syndrome. Do you really want to be normal? Can you really say
you want to be In bondage to this sins?
