Sin is a concept that is fleeing our society. Here in Brazil, where we live, sin is not understood in the culture. So when you talk to a friend, coworker, or a relative about sin, the eyes roll, heads shake because you are just one of those old fashion persons. I have a story that I often tell to explain sin, and it is in the old testament Numbers 21:6-9 – The Bronze Serpent. It has such an impact because it strikes fear into people’s hearts when God sends poisonous snakes to kill his people just because they grumbled and complained about what God had given them. Death was the price. The story is quick, simple, and catches people’s attention, even in America.
