Don’t Choose Sin as the Remedy, Eph 4:26
Don’t Choose Sin as the Remedy Eph. 4:26 CLICK TITLE FOR AUDIO In Eph 4:26 Paul says, “Be ye angry, and sin not.” So there is an allowance for anger. The point is that at times anger is an appropriate response to something wrong. Look at Jesus in Mark 3:5. He was angry but he didn’t […]
Wandering Out Of The Way, Prov 21:16
Prov 21:16 says, “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” This is one of the most ignored verses in the Bible. It speaks of a specific right way (the way of understanding) in which God’s people are supposed to walk. It speaks of an […]
Your Own Desire, Ps 78:29
Your Own Desire One of the worst things God can do is give you your own desire, when it’s your desire but not his. Israel wanted flesh to eat when they were in the wilderness and God brought them quail, Num 11. He gave them their own desire, Ps 78:29, and many died, as […]
Choke the Word, Mk 4:19
Mk 4:19 exposes three things that choke the word and make it unfruitful. These choke the word in a Christian and choke the word when it is preached to a lost person. These three things choke the word: Cares of this world – the word of God bears fruit in your life when you receive […]
God Gives You Up, Ps 81:12

Enticed, Jas 1:14
Jas 1:14 says, “every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.” Lust is a natural feature of our lives. Lust by itself is not sin or even necessarily a bad thing. Look at Deut 12:15, 20, 21 and 14:26. When lust, however, draws you away and then you […]

Concupiscence, 1 Thes 4:3-5
According to 1 Thes 4:3-5, it is the will of God that we possess our vessels in sanctification and honour; not in the lust of concupiscence. I recently heard Pastor Erick Knight preach on concupiscence. His sermon helped me to understand this sin and to come up with a way to see how it relates […]
