Act!!!
Rom.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” [with emphasis]
To overcome temptation, the second thing you need to do is to take action. Act in the power of the Holy Spirit, not in your strength, not in your flesh.
Love Controlled
2 Cor.5:14 [MSG] “Christ’s love has moved me to such extremes. His love has the first and last word in everything we do.”
By God’s grace, people talk with me freely because they know that I will not judge them. A pastor’s job is very interesting; you cannot even imagine some of the things I hear. But all in all, my first response is usually to laugh.

Keep Your Word
Luke 16:10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.”
The battle with purity is actually a battle with decision-making. You need to be able to keep your words in the little promises such as – I will see you tomorrow by ten o’clock, I will bring groceries home, I will take out the trash and it will be done on time. Read the rest of this entry
Virtue
Cease-fire
1Pet.3:10 “For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days,… 11… Search for peace, and work to maintain it.”
Are you killing yourself slowly? Sadly, a lot of people trivialize things that determine their destiny. Exercise for instance; some people just refuse to exercise. I had a friend while I was in university that led me to smoke. Read the rest of this entry
