The Power of Sin

 “Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness” - Hebrews 3:13

How serious are we about sin? The Bible reminds us how seriously God views it. The power of sin to entice us, entrap us, and ultimately engulf us in its power can be offset by loving Christian friends who encourage each other daily.

The will to loyalty 

Joshua 24:15
 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites,

 in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Lord, Speak with Power, Comfort & Clarity

 John 7:46
The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this Man!”

Kidnapping

Genesis 37:27-28
27 Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed.

28 So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.

1 Timothy 1:10
For adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

The Exclusiveness of Christ

Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Thought 

. A wise man does not wish to change his situation, because he knows that  it is possible to fulfil the law of God, the law of love, in every situation. - Leo Tolstoy
