The other day, I was walking on my patio

0:08

when I accidentally glanced at my gutters and

0:10

saw what looked like a tree growing out of

0:12

one side of the roof. After months

0:14

of ignoring it, I finally got my ladder,

0:17

got up on my roof and cleaned the gutters and

0:19

boy was I disgusted. The

0:21

growth in my gutters was nasty. When

0:23

it comes to our hearts and the sin that creeps

0:25

into our lives, most of us ignore it. When

0:27

it's small, we figure we can handle it, we

0:30

compromise and we wait, and we cut corners until

0:32

one day we look up and there's a tree growing

0:34

out of the gutters of our hearts. Trust

0:36

me when I tell you that it's a lot harder

0:39

to deal with sin when it's grown into a tree

0:41

than when it's first noticed. So

0:43

stop postponing and stop pretending it's

0:45

time to take an inventory of your heart

0:47

and ask God to search you and

0:49

give you the desire to repent. He

0:51

will faithfully do it for help and

0:53

growing in holiness. Visit today's single
