Four questions you ought to ask yourself

I like sharing my notes from sermons that speak to my spirit. Pastor Ed Young, Winning Walk, always preaches without sugarcoating God’s word.

God's word provides answers when we check it. We should all ask these questions anytime we need to make a decision.

Is this beneficial?

Is this addictive?

1 Corinthians 6:12 TLB

I can do anything I want to if Christ has not said no,[a] but some of these things aren’t good for me. Even if I am allowed to do them, I’ll refuse to if I think they might get such a grip on me that I can’t easily stop when I want to.

Does it hurt others?

1 Corinthians 8:13 NCV

So if the food I eat causes them to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again so that I will not cause any of them to sin.

Does it give glory to God?

1 Corinthians 10:31 NCV

The answer is, if you eat or drink, or if you do anything, do it all for the glory of God.

Sin on the journey

Before I know it, sin drips from my mouth and floods my mind. Oh the struggle.
Romans 7:22-23 I love to do God’s will so far as my new nature is concerned; but there is something else deep within me, in my lower nature, that is at war with my mind and wins the fight and makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. In my mind I want to be God’s willing servant, but instead I find myself still enslaved to sin. So you see how it is: my new life tells me to do right, but the old nature that is still inside me loves to sin. Oh, what a terrible predicament I’m in! Who will free me from my slavery to this deadly lower nature? Thank God! It has been done by Jesus Christ our Lord. He has set me free.
My current struggle is in not easily recognizing the extent of my sinfulness. I can easily preach it, but continuous righteous living eludes me.
Ouch. It hurts. I reveal this because I love the Lord with all my heart, mind and soul, but the sinner in me wins. It's the same struggle the A…
