Lesson 9: Sin In The Church Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 8, 2010

Handling sin in the church has become very difficult from both angles - in our PC world much bad behavior is actually celebrated, but Christians are also wounding each other over weakness instead of supporting and helping. We'll try to walk the fine line

In Chapter 5 we move from pride of surface appearance over internal substance to pride over major sin in the body. It's issue two on Paul's mind as he writes to the Corinthians.

God's Grace Is Not A License To Sin

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 4, 2013

Just because we're saved by grace, that doesn't give us a license to sin. In this lesson we'll expound upon Paul's words in Romans 6:1, "Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound?"

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” Romans 6:1 On the surface it seems strange that anyone, especially Christians, would think that it would be okay to continue to sin so that God’s grace may abound toward us. Yet, it seems that was the ...read more

Sin Is A Disgrace To Any People

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 12, 2015

Now it would seem ridiculous to ignore sin & Satan completely, so they don’t. But what God calls sin in the Bible isn’t necessarily what they consider to be sin. And the idea of a real Satan is hard for some to accept.
