Virus Detected

As I sit here to write this, I can't help but notice the 'virus detected' notice in the corner of my screen.
It's kind of disturbing really...

I guess that going online at all is always going to be risky, as viruses and other such stuff can get into your computer, but the thing thats really disturbing about this virus is that even though the anti-virus on our computer has found it, it seems unable to do anything about it.

What I mean by this is that if I click on 'Heal', 'Delete File' or 'Move to Vault', the three options available for dealing with these little evil programs, I get a message pop up stating 'Requested Action is not available for this object!' What does this mean???!!! How will I get rid of this evil invader?!!!!!

However, this virus does present an analogy for me to do with Christianity. Just as being on the Internet opens you to the risk of viruses, there are things we do in our lives that open us up to the potential of sin.
When a sin enters into your system, we find that most of the time our 'Anti-Sin' can pick it up, and deal with it.

The problem is that eventually, if you keep exposing yourself to sin for long enough, you have the possibility of catching a sin that your Anti-Sin just can't deal with! Once that happens, you are stuck with it.

The only thing you can do in a time like this is to rely on help from 'Tech Support', the one who knows more about dealing with sins than your own little anti-sin filter. That Tech-Support is God.

So, if you have an issue in your life at present with a sin-virus having attached itself to you, just call on God to help you with it.

His number is toll-free, open 24/7, and you don't even need a phone to use it.
Just call out to him, and he will answer.
