Accumulating Sins

Parents know that children often try to cover-up one lie with another lie. I see something similar in Washington DC when politicians pile up lie upon lie during interviews and testimony. The Apostle John wrote about the Fall of Babylon, “Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes” (Rev 18:4-5 NIV). It gives me pause to think that sins left unrepented can accumulate.
