When you abide in righteousness the devil can try as much as he could to attack you, but he will always fail to overcome you. The Lord rewards a righteous life with many blessings. Your victory against the devil is your life of holiness. The Lord will not protect you because you are a pastor or prophet, His protection rests on those who love righteousness and hate sin. The devil will attack the pastor the same way he attacks anyone. Truly, anyone who plays with sin plays with fire. “We know that everyone who has been born of God does not sin, but the One who is born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him”(1John 5:18).

Ask the Lord to give you a new heart or spirit that gravitates toward heaven. To please God is to do what is right no matter what the situation dictates. You must be able to walk in the path of righteousness when you are unemployed or walking in the path of barrenness. It does not matter whether you are unemployed and looking for a job, you must always remain faithful to the word of God. The Lord is always watching to see how you would behave when you are in …show more content…
Fornication is a sin that God hates so passionately. Fornication is a sexual relationship between two unmarried people, a man and a woman. Anyone who fornicates defiles himself with unrighteousness. “Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body”
(1 Corinthians 6:13, 18, KJV). Fornication is one of the reasons many people do not receive their blessings from the Lord. Many people do not know this reality, and those who are aware of it refuse to listen to the counsel of the word of God, which instructs them to shy away from all forms of unrighteousness. Those who are born again have been born by a righteous Father, who expects them to abide in His righteousness. Fornication and any sexual sins belong to the world. They are the sins of those who are still slaves to the devil. Let no one who is called by the name of the Lord be involved in any unrighteousness
Having an affair leads to nothing but trouble. Not only is it a sin but it is unfair and disrespectful to the spouses. Mr.Hall and Mrs.Mills affair went on for years. Their deaths were mysterious and never solved. A few people were blamed for their deaths but there wasn't enough evidence to convict anyone.
In screwtape letters C.S Lewis talks about a patient that is a christian they tell him that he could not read the bible, he can’t even go outside and see the flowers or to see nature. The demons are always trying to take christians from christianity to the devil. And that is how they try to get you to leave christianity and do the things that you usually don’t do. The real trouble about the set your patient is living in is that it is merely Christian. They all have individual interests, of course, but the bond remains mere Christianity.
The second quote from the First Corinthians 6: Paul " Flee sexual immorality" was short but extremely powerful considering that sexual immorality exists all around us it is important to not fall victim to it, everything that is socially acceptable is not morally correct and therefore it is a person decision to make a distinction and conduct oneself
It matters not what the sin is but whether or not the sinner is trying to fix there sin. No one sin is seen as more or less sinful to God. All sin is equal; sometimes however we make it seem like one sin is worse than the other. The bible clearly states that” All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away “(Isaiah 64:6 NIV).
Equality 7-2521 was just trying to fit in, but “It was not that the learning was too hard for us. It was that learning was too easy.” So, his sin is ultimately his willingness and dedication for
It is possible that we are interpreting these scriptures wrongly and if this is so, then what exactly do they mean? Luke 11:24-26 is frightening: It essentially warns that when the enemy finds that the place is clean, but open to sin, he comes back with demons seven times stronger than
In the Bible, Romans tells us, “all have sinned and deprived of the glory of God” (Romans 3). Both Catholic and Presbyterians recognize the seriousness of sin. However, Catholics believe that there are two kinds of sins, mortal sin and venial sin. Mortal sin is a serious sin that completely disconnects a person from God. Venial sin, on the other hand, doesn’t disconnect the relationship but it harms it.
We think of it as being dishonest or as a sin. " The Storm" is not so black and white. Calixta and Alcée cheat on their spouses by having an affair and go on as if it did not happen, but they seem to be kinder, sweeter, and more loving to their spouses. Their adultery act seems to help strengthen the marriages rather than destroying them.
There is more than the eye can see. In “The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson, some items and people have deeper meanings than others. Stones represent sin, a trinity is represented by a stool, and a color represents death. In “The Lottery,” Jackson uses humans and objects to symbolize the Christian religion.
Paul faced many of these people in his days. He even received a death threat from the KKK. It was difficult for him but he never gave up his passion. There were some sacrifices as well.

Augustine, in his work The Perfection of Human Righteousness, combatted the heresy of Pelagianism as described by Caelestius in his treatise, The Definitions Attributed to Caelestius. Following Pelagius, Caelestius by logic and Scripture argued that the Fall did not destroy man’s natural capability to do right. Caelestius argued that God made us free to do the good and thus we all have the power not to sin, and that both the devil and Adam’s original sin are unable to destroy this power. As proof Caelestius gave examples of Old Testament saints who he claimed lived holy lives.
