Jeff Bezos' Affair. The largest divorce settlement in history?

This is Jim Denison's daily article for Friday, January 11th, 2019.

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has reportedly been dating an actress and helicopter

pilot named Lauren Sanchez for four months. The problem is, Bezos has been married to his wife,

McKenzie, for 25 years.

Yesterday, the two announced their plans to divorce.

Bezos is worth $137 billion.

Since the couple has no prenuptial agreement, their divorce settlement may be the largest in history.

In other news, officials have determined that a sinkhole that cost $75 million to

fix was caused by human error. Water was released too quickly into sewage pipes, eventually causing

the ground to collapse into a sinkhole that grew to 100 feet wide and 250 feet long. Nearly two

dozen homes in a neighborhood north of Detroit were evacuated. A major roadway

was closed for almost a year for repairs. We may not see the consequences of our sins

today, but that makes them no less dangerous. The Lord warned Adam that he must not eat of the

tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.

However, Adam did not die on the day he ate from the forbidden fruit.

In fact, he lived for a total of 930 years.

For many centuries, he might have wondered if God's warning would come to pass.

A delay in the consequences of sin can tempt us to sin further.

Many of our sins are committed in the belief that no one

will know that we will get away with this. The longer we sin without apparent consequences,

the more emboldened we become. This is because we misunderstand the nature of sin and its results.
