Rejecting Sin

Contributed by Raymond Williams on Mar 30, 2020

Augustine said, “The punishment for sin is sin.” 2 Peter 2:19 teaches, “by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.” GOD’S HAND REMOVED THERE IS NOTHING TO RESTAIN SIN. Our only hope is radical repentance.

Rejecting Sin Text: Hebrews 9 & 10 I have one big problem, and it is myself. Now I know I am not alone in this; I happen to believe the Bible as it is written. Written by men as moved by the Spirit of God. The medium used to convey the will of God to man is very fragile, changes as to ...read more

The issue our text addresses is that it insists that Faith in Jesus Christ Excludes Every Other Option. For the fact of the matter is that, for the most part, we only turn to Jesus when we have ran out of options: He’s usually our last option.

We have this tenacious tendency of using this Jesus/And strategy; Jesus/And… my money, my medicine, my doctor, my parents, my spouse, my friends, ...read more
