Sin vs. Fried Chicken

After reading a post by Jeff Peterson over at The Lighthearted Calvinist (HERE) I got to thinking, and yes that can be dangerous. I got to thinking how sin interferes with our enjoyment of the creation that God has given us (fried chicken included). Our sinful nature will not allow us to enjoy what God has provided for us, but causes us to want more and more.

When you stop for a second and really take inventory it is amazing what we take for granted. Some people claim that we take things for granted because (in America) we have so much. I submit that our ungratefulness for the things that we have is not a result of the bountiful provision that we enjoy here, but a result of our fallen condition. Even the person who is living in squaller has something and without the regeneration that comes through the ministry of the Holy Spirit cannot truly applicate it. If we cannot appreciate the love of a sovereign and holy God, we cannot appreciate what He has graciously provided for us.

It is a sin problem and a sin problem has only one solution, the atoning, substitutionary work of Christ upon Calvary's cross.
