Romans 8:13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. Shameful behavior is being displayed in magazines, movies, and on television. Immorality is even joked about. The world is seeking to convince everyone that nothing is sinful anymore. So we must be on guard against any compromise in our hearts. A permissive attitude toward evil will lead us to fall into sin. That’s why we are to deal radically with every form of wickedness. Jesus went so far as to say that we should pluck out our eye if it causes us to sin (Matt. 5:29). He didn’t mean we should maim our bodies, but rather we are to take strong action when tempted to sin. Books, magazines, or video images that arouse wrong desires must be deliberately avoided. This is also what Paul had in mind when he said we are to “put to death the deeds of the body” (Rom. 8:13). Someone who is indifferent to the sin around him or trifles with it in his own life is in grave danger. Leave no unguarded place, No weakness of the soul, Take every virtue, every grace, And fortify the whole. —Wesley To avoid being tempted by forbidden fruit, stay away from the devil’s orchard. #Truth #Jesus #Savior #God #Praise #KingdomMen #Faithandweights #CrossFitMyHeart #CrossFit #Faith #Believe #Jesus #dreambigprayhardliftbig #TeamJesus #StrengthInChrist #Bible #HolySpirit #hardworkanddedication #pray #Forgiven #Resurrection #WOD #Olympiclifting #OlyLifts #Blessed
