Cheating: now there’s an app for that …

A key to “successfully” cheating on your spouse or “significant other” is effectively maintaining secrecy of the affair.

Now, there’s an app for that.

CATE is an application for smartphones that serves as a call and text eraser (more about CATE here http://bit.ly/jWWjGQ), keeping your contacts containing the details of your trists hidden from any suspicious person sneaking a peek at the contents of your phone. This app makes your smartphone a tool of privacy, enabling you to maintain communications with secrecy.

Yes, there really are people out there creating technological tools specifically designed to equip others in carrying out the sinful desires of their hearts.

And our hearts are sinful.

Just look at how Jeremiah describes what the human heart is really like:

“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?” Jeremiah 17:9.

Even with this insight, you’ll see scores of Christians encourage others to, “Just follow your heart!” Do that, and you’ll pursue sin.

Instead, God commands us not to try to enable ourselves to “succeed” at sin, but rather to turn from it. God’s application for the human heart is repentance:

“God overlooked people’s
ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands
everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him,” Acts 17:30.

The problem with us humans is that we have followed our hearts, and it has led us straight to sin. Now, God directs us to turn our hearts to Him instead.

“19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. 20 Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah,” Acts 3:19-20.

Have you discarded your tools and efforts to try to hide your sins? Have you repented from sin, turning your heart fully to God?
