Frank Warren has collected peoples’ secrets. And he’s kept them… sort of. Post Secret is a series of books and a website by Warren, in which people send him an anonymous secret on a postcard and he compiles them for the world to see. The books are both popular and very powerful!

I sat down with one of those books yesterday and was reminded of what the Bible clearly lays out about sin. “The wages of sin is death…” Reading about the secret sins people hold close to their heart, you can feel the death that they live with. But even sadder is those whose secret stems from someone else’s sin, for example having been abused or raped. Based on their writing, you can see that part of them is in fact dead.

Thankfully we know that while the wages of sin are death, “but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
