Compassion for the Lost (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
Hopefully you have experienced a measure of God’s grace and victory over sin as we have studied our indwelling sin and the grace of God that delivers us from that sin. How do we maintain this grace and grow in this grace? We must let past sins humble us We quickly forget that we were once hopelessly lost in sin. We forget what we were before Jesus delivered us by His grace. Because of this we can quickly lose compassion…
Economics – Coveting
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.Exodus 20:17 The tenth commandment is a commandment that is largely ignored in American culture. Right alongside adultery, murder, and theft God prohibits desiring what other people have. This commandment is primarily meant to show us our depravity and need of a Savior by exposing that our love…
Grace (Luke 15:1-2, 11-32)
As we draw our study of sin and temptation to a close, how does it all fit together? Our sin has ruined us Like the prodigal son, we have followed our heart’s leading, and it has ruined us. Our relationship with God, our marriage, our health, our finances, our family relationships, etc. are riddled with brokenness, guilt, shame, and devastation. All of this has been brought about by our sin. Like the prodigal we are in rags starving to death…
Economics – What is money?
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.1 Timothy 6:10-11 Many people mistakenly call money the root of all evil; it is greed or the love of money that is the root of all evil. Money is not evil in and…
Dealing with Sources of Temptation (Matthew 5:28-30)
As we seek victory over habitual sins, we must remember that Jesus taught us to pray that we would avoid temptation. We like being tempted We like the feelings of temptation; we just hate the guilt of the sin. If we could have the sin without the consequences, guilt, and shame we would normally choose the sin. We like to walk as closely to sin as possible without actually falling into sin. In doing so we deceive ourselves into thinking…
Economics – Stewardship
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto…
Open Confession of Sin (John 3:19-21)
As we seek to have victory over habitual sins, the questions becomes, “How do I break the hold this sin has on me?” Seek help We often deceive ourselves into thinking that we actually want salvation or victory over sin. Most often we want our reputation restored, the feelings of guilt to go away, escape from consequences, etc. This is clearly seen in that we will not even so much as ask others to pray for us. We will not…
Economics – It all belongs to God
We are now going to look at a Theology of Economics. We want to see how our theology directly affects our view of money and property. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.Genesis 1:1 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all…
