Today is day 312 and we are studying The Sixth Commandment. 312. Is anger always sinful? While godly anger is a just response to wickedness and injustice, we are more often led into ungodly anger by fear, pride, and revenge. We should therefore be slow to anger and quick to forgive. (Psalm 103:8–9; Proverbs 15:18; 16:32; 19:11; Micah 7:18; John 2:13–17; Ephesians 4:26–27, 31–32; James 1:19–20) We will conclude today by praying the Kaph Stanza of Psalm 119 which is verses 81-88 found on page 433 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Can your feelings be sinful? Fr. Mike Schmitz reminds us that "sin and virtue do not reside in the emotions, they reside in the will." Our emotions, whether positive or negative, don't make us good or bad; what matters is how we respond to them. Use your emotions to choose and pursue the good!

Genesis 6: 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time. 6 And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.Understanding the recognition of corrupt or distorted human character as part of man's fallen nature provides a clear framework for identifying the underlying causes of carnal thought processes and other unhealed emotional desires, needs, and tendencies. This insight helps us determine effective ways to address these issues. One of humanity's inherent traits, following disobedience to Jehovah and being cast out of God's paradise, is spiritual blindness and death, also known as corruption.Death, the decaying and collapse of man's ethical moral spiritual identity and standard, became the core operating system of life outside the Garden of Eden. Adam, the first man, was not only stripped of his spiritual relationship with his creator, but also lost his legitimate administrative authority and influence to govern and regulate his own life and the earth he was placed in charge. Man lost his divine consciousness, compass and the direction of existence and became enslaved to a strange foreign system of operation governed through his fallen soul faculty. The word of God revealed that following the fall of man in the Garden was an inherent inclination of perpetually evil desires and behavior (Genesis 6:5). This resulted in the loss of man's capacity to express truth, justice, righteousness, love and goodness, allowing corruption to permeate both individual lives and the entire human race and creation. Consequently, everything that man seeks, thinks, desires and does become driven by selfish ambition, which ultimately fosters all forms of destructive tendencies. Corruption became man's identity, representing the decline and decay of human godly nature. The Sinful nature grew and thrived, becoming the very embodiment of man's operating system; a self-centred character that only seeks to fulfill personal gratification and desires at any cost.Those who live under the influence of the fallen Adamic nature lack the power or will to undergo self-transformation according to the word of God, except such a person undergoes the transformation of his nature from the old lifestyle, which begins with Salvation. No individual, regardless of their willpower, kindness, or intelligence, can summon the strength to rise above the sinful nature, which is basically a deliberate conscious thought life pattern. This is why Paul advised the brethren in Rome, as outlined in Romans 12:1-3, and, by extension, all followers of Christ today, to offer [their spirit, soul, and body] themselves daily to God as a living sacrifice, which is their assigned duty of worship and service unto God.The core message here is to bring the flesh, the carnal Adamic nature, which has become selfish in its desires, into submission to God's will and plan for their existence. Embracing this life of joyful sacrificial submission is the key, not only to neutralizing the will and desires of the fallen human nature, but also to granting individuals access to understanding and accepting God's perfect will for every situation.

“Matthew 4:5-7 | Taking a Leap of Faith is Stupid and Sinful” from Lakeshore Baptist Church by Pastor David Green. Released: 2025. Genre: Preaching. The post Matthew 4:5-7 | Taking a Leap of Faith is Stupid and Sinful appeared first on Lakeshore Baptist Church.

It's Thursday, October 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark European anti-Christian hate crimes are overlooked The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe released a new report on anti-Christian crimes in Europe. The survey found such crimes are downplayed, under-reported, or politically overlooked. Anti-Christian hate crimes include vandalism, harassment, threats, physical assaults, and even murder.  The report noted, “Religion-related or religion-inspired violence may also stem from the perception of Christianity as a rival, inferior or adversarial faith . . . For example, some forms of violent ‘extremist' rhetoric portray Christians as ‘infidels' and ‘enemies of Islam' who must be subdued.” Converts from Islam to Christianity in Europe, especially women, were particularly at risk of violence or threats from family members.   Messianic Christian ministry seeing Israelis coming to Christ This month is the two-year anniversary of the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas, the Muslim terrorist organization Since then, Israelis have been turning to God during the ongoing war.  A new study found that the personal religiosity and spirituality of Jewish-Israeli students increased over the last two years.  Christian ministries in particular are seeing an uptick in interest. ONE FOR ISRAEL is a group devoted to bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Israelis. The ministry noted, “We have received a huge number of messages from seekers, exploring faith, and seen many come to faith during the war. We have mailed out hundreds of copies of the New Testament.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” J.D. Vance in Israel: Ceasefire will hold U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance visited Israel on Tuesday. He met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem yesterday. Vance expressed optimism at a press conference that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas would hold. Listen. VANCE: “A lot of our Israeli friends working together with a lot of Americans to actually mediate this entire ceasefire process, to get some of the critical infrastructure off the ground from the international security force so the reconstruction of Gaza. It's not easy. I never said it was easy, but what I am is optimistic that the ceasefire is going to hold, and that we can actually build a better future in the entire Middle East.” U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that if Hamas violates their agreement, “an end to Hamas will be FAST, FURIOUS, & BRUTAL!” New North Carolina U.S. congressional map could help GOP In the United States, North Carolinian lawmakers approved a new congressional map yesterday. The revised map could help Republicans pick up an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.  President Trump is encouraging GOP-led states to redistrict ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Texas and Missouri have already redrawn their U.S. House districts.  Barna: Americans don't believe drunkenness, gambling, & Sabbath-breaking are sinful Dr. George Barna, the Christian researcher, released his latest report on the worldview of Americans. The survey asked people about 12 specific behaviors, traditionally considered sinful. The study found a majority of U.S. adults still believe six of the behaviors are sinful. Those include lying or manipulating, abusing God's name, idol worship, sex outside marriage, pornography use, and illegal drug use. Respondents were split on three of the behaviors—abortion, sexual fantasies, and cheating on taxes.  And Americans dismissed the final three behaviors as not sinful—drunkenness, gambling, and Sabbath-breaking. The study identified three increasingly influential groups in American society: the adult portion of Gen Z, atheists and agnostics, and the Asian-American population. Dr. Barna noted, “Together, a majority of those groups approve of lying for personal benefit, sex on demand, abortion, idolatry, and various lifestyle vices.” Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but happy is he who keeps the law.” Iceland lost its mosquito-free status And finally, Iceland just lost its mosquito-free status. Björn Hjaltason, an insect enthusiast, found three mosquitos in his garden last week.  Matthías Alfreðsson, an entomologist at the Icelandic Institute of Natural History, confirmed they were mosquitoes of the species Culiseta annulata.   It's the first time scientists have confirmed mosquito findings in the wild in Iceland. However, it remains to be seen if they can survive the winter there. In January and February, the average temperature is 28 degrees. Hjaltason told The Iceland Monitor the experience was quite exciting, “Yes, it's always fun to discover something new.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Asst. Pastor Melvin Gaines Romans 6:1-11

Sinful life after spiritual death has characteristics and consequences, but God pursues sinners and offers grace!

The sermon centers on 1 Chronicles 21, using David's sinful census as a lens to expose the pervasive human tendency to trust in human control, resources, and worldly security rather than in God's sovereign provision and promises. It highlights the tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility, resolving apparent contradictions in Scripture by affirming God's ultimate authority while holding individuals accountable for their choices, as seen in David's repentance and the devastating consequences of his misplaced trust. The passage is used to confront the congregation with the spiritual dangers of affluence and self-reliance in modern American culture, where distractions like technology and medical autonomy can displace genuine dependence on God. Through David's confession, the sermon emphasizes that true worship arises not from perfection but from humility, acknowledging sin and turning to God's mercy, culminating in the establishment of a place of worship that foreshadows Christ as the ultimate temple and source of eternal redemption.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --Gentle Parenting has gained significant popularity in recent years as a parenting philosophy rooted in empathy, emotional connection, and positive discipline. It's roots come from Alfred AdlerAdvocates promote its compassionate, respectful approach to child-rearing as an alternative to authoritarian or punitive parenting styles. While aspects of gentle parenting align with biblical calls for kindness, patience, and love, there are significant theological and biblical concerns that challenge some of its foundational assumptions. This article explores the principles of gentle parenting, the underlying views about human nature, and examines where it diverges from biblical truth from an evangelical perspective.The Principles of Gentle ParentingAt its core, gentle parenting emphasizes a few key principles:Connection Over Control: Gentle parenting prioritizes forming a strong emotional bond with the child over exerting control. It believes that a connected parent-child relationship is the foundation for healthy behavior, promoting cooperation rather than compliance based on fear.Empathy and Emotional Awareness: Gentle parenting encourages parents to understand and validate their children's emotions. The idea is that emotional intelligence and self-regulation come through modeling empathy, not through punishment or suppression of emotions.Positive Discipline: Gentle parenting replaces punitive measures (like spanking or time-outs) with positive discipline. Misbehavior is viewed as an opportunity to teach and guide rather than punish. Natural consequences and open communication are favored over strict rules or punishments.Respect for Autonomy: This philosophy treats children as autonomous individuals deserving of the same respect as adults. Children are given choices and involved in decision-making processes, even from a young age, to foster a sense of independence.Modeling Desired Behavior: Parents are encouraged to model the behaviors they wish to see in their children. Instead of disciplining through authority, parents demonstrate patience, kindness, and self-control, expecting their children to learn by example.Underlying Assumptions About Human NatureThe principles of gentle parenting rest on certain assumptions about human nature that, while appealing, often conflict with the Bible's teachings on humanity's fallen state and the need for discipline. Biblical parenting embraces the timeless truth of God's Word instead of the changing ideas of popular culture. When evaluating Gentle Parenting, be sure to do it through the lens of the Bible.1. Children: Inherently Good or Sinful?One of the main assumptions behind gentle parenting is that...

Romans 7:9-13. From the "New Testament" sermon series. Preached by Max Curell.

Eli Hatcher's Funeral Reflection on preaching at the funeral of Eli Hatcher, an eight-year-old boy. The feeling of everyone expecting an answer to "why." Acknowledging the inability to explain certain things, like why young people die or why bad things happen to good people. Sustaining belief anchored in the blood of Jesus. Reliance on the grace of God and the Holy Spirit. Scripture References Mark 2:1 - Jesus in Capernaum, news spreading that he was in the house. Mark 9:33 - Jesus in Capernaum asking what the disciples were arguing about in the house. Mark 10:10 - Disciples asking Jesus about a matter in the house. Mark 14:3 - Jesus in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper. 2 Chronicles 5:14 - Priests unable to minister because the glory of the Lord filled the house of God. The Glory of God in the House Desire for God's glory. Moses' experience on the mountain, wanting to see God's glory. God allowed Moses to see a portion of His glory. Moses' face glowed, making it difficult for others to look at him. Comfort in God's promise to meet where two or three are gathered. The need for God's glory to change lives and save people. Solomon's dedication to building an elaborate temple for God's presence. Solomon's Preparation for God's Glory Assembling People came together, making an effort to be present. COVID-19 pandemic and church closures. Closing the church for five months was a mistake. Trusting God in the midst of uncertainty. Importance of physical presence in the church. Online streaming is beneficial for those unable to attend. Those who are part of the church should prioritize being there in person. Experiencing God in person. God is an "in-person kind of God." Nothing better than being in God's house. Looking forward to the Holy Ghost's presence. Talented singers and musicians in the congregation. The importance of God's presence over talent alone. Need for more of God, not more of the world. References to Jesus going into houses in the book of Mark. Woman with the issue of blood. When people gather and seek God, He will show up. Encouragement to attend services despite scheduling difficulties. Praying for those who listen online to be convicted and drawn to the church. Nehemiah and Ezra gathering people in the street, resulting in God's presence. God showing up in the midst of a "ragtag" group. Promise of God being in the midst when people gather. Sacrificing/Repenting King Solomon and the congregation sacrificed sheep and oxen. The need for repentance before God's glory can manifest. Acknowledging and repenting of sins. Living in sin alienates individuals from God's presence. Sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Sacrificing sheep and oxen. The number of sacrifices was so great it couldn't be counted. Sinful nature of people. Need for help to maintain fellowship with God. People choosing to live in sin and avoid the church. Feeling singled out by God when the glory falls. Encouragement to return to church and then get right with God. The Holy Ghost doesn't play favorites or mess around with sin. Being present is not enough; sacrifice is necessary. Compromise with sin drains the power of churches. Turning and repenting is the only response to sin. Desire to see people get right with God during worship. Strategic surgery to remove things that hinder fellowship with God. Placing the Promises of God in the Rightful Place The priests brought in the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark contained the tables of stone (Word of God). After repentance, the promises of God should be honored. The Word of God should be the highest priority. The reason God calls men is so there could be no boasting. Exalting the Word of God. The Word of God is above all.

Negative thoughts are toxic.  They could the connection to God.  You can replace them with faith and trust in God.  Now is the time to do that.

A new "Catholic investing scorecard" promises to help the devout align their portfolios with church teachings by dodging investments in anything supporting abortion, pornography, or LGBTQ+ rights. While some applaud this "faith-based stewardship," others—including us heathens—see it as a transparent, hypocritical weaponization of finance in the ongoing culture wars. A financial advisor, who evidently didn't use divine intervention to amass his own wealth, is now offering a tool based on "faith not seen" rather than evidence, potentially leading to exclusion and bad investments. We're just wondering if the Vatican is secretly funding the White Sox now. Talk about a holy roller…

499-Sinful v. Holy Fierce Intimacy I was confused. There I was a new bride, having saved myself for marriage… only to find out that my new husband wanted me to do SINFUL things. Where did he get all this “inspiration” anyway? Oh, I knew: sinful places. So, of course, I refused. And of course, it brought mutual anger (covering each of our hurt). What's your story? If it's even remotely like mine, I needed to change the lens in which I was viewing sex. I wasn't viewing sex from a biblical standpoint. I was viewing sex from a sexually perverted lens. (Even though I saved my sex for marriage, I certainly received messages from the world that perverted the purity and unashamedness that is meant to be in the bedroom.) I was thinking about a sinful visual I had, at some point, encountered that I knew was wrong. Instead of recognizing the COMPLETELY different and HOLY context of my marriage, I decided the act was associated with my experience that was not God's will. Maybe you've gone through something profoundly tragic, if so, my heart goes out to you. And now you're married and there are so many things that feel hard to move towards because of the past. There is hope. Hope for healing and even hope for desire. Be washed by truth. That's my aim in this conversation. That you will realize that our God is a God of intimacy and freedom in your marriage. When you wash your mind with the truth of His design within the marriage bed, may you slowly wade (or dive in) into the waters of marital intimacy and find out it's nice and warm (with your spouse

Despite the humiliation at Eleusis in 167 and the troubles in Judea, Antiochus organizes an enormous festival in Daphne to rival the games of Lucius Aemilius Paulus in Amphipolis, showcasing the prosperity of the empire that looked as strong as it ever had before. He would follow this celebration with an anabasis into the Upper Satrapies, but would die in Iran in November 164, and the dynasty would begin on a dark path towards its eventual decline.

Life of David Series by Pastor Jason Duff The post The Sinful Census – 2 Samuel 24 appeared first on Calvary Vista.

With his solemn, near pious, Sonnet 146, William Shakespeare for the first and only time speaks directly to his soul and entreats it to look after itself; to stop expending its energy on the pursuit of outward, physical adornments which are all doomed to swift decay – effectively starving and weakening itself whilst feeding and strengthening the gluttonous body that is only meant to house it and that will soon succumb to death – and to instead let go of material riches and with the 'return' from 'selling' them, 'purchase' something infinitely more valuable: eternal life in concord with, and on the terms ordained by, God.The poem makes no mention, nor does it allude to or reference indirectly, any lover, mistress, or wife, nor love itself, or sex. This, too, makes it unique in the collection. As does its close alignment with a Christian notion of redemption through spiritual nurture at the expense of, and in preference to, physical or material gratification.

Sinful thoughts often begin quietly—an unchecked idea, a hidden fault, or a willful choice. Left unattended, they can grow into habits that enslave us. In Psalm 19:12-14, David prays for God’s forgiveness, protection, and guidance so that his heart and words might be pleasing in God’s sight. In today's prayer and devotional, Jessica Van Roekel reminds us that victory over sin isn’t about willpower alone. It comes from surrendering our hearts and minds to the Lord, allowing Him to be our Rock, Refuge, and Redeemer. God provides a way out of temptation, giving us strength to overcome sinful patterns and live in freedom. Main Takeaways Sin often begins as a thought and progresses if not surrendered to God. Like David, we can pray for forgiveness of hidden faults and strength against willful sins. God is our Rock and Redeemer, rescuing us from spiritual oppression and restoring us. The Holy Spirit always provides an escape from temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). Living in victory requires dependence on God and aligning our words and thoughts with His will. Bible Verse References Psalm 19:12-14 – “But who can discern their own error? Forgive my hidden faults…” 1 Corinthians 10:13 – God provides a way out from temptation. Hebrews 4:13 – Nothing is hidden from God’s sight. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for daily devotionals rooted in Scripture.

What do you get when you mix royal marriages, palace drama, and one very wicked queen? In this episode, we follow the unraveling of a godly legacy as we wrap up chapter 20 and head into 2 Chronicles 21–24. One sinful alliance sets off a chain of destruction, but even in the chaos God's promise to David stands firm. And through the quiet courage of two faithful people, the line of Christ is preserved.Themes of this podcast: Sinful alliances can derail Godly legacies. Jehoshaphat was a good king, but his alliance with Ahab opened the door for idolatry, violence, and spiritual decay in Judah. One unwise decision—marrying into a wicked family—allowed sin to unravel generations of godly influence.God preserves His promises, even through chaos. Despite betrayal, murder, and idolatry, God keeps His promises. His plans cannot be stopped even by the darkest evil.Ordinary faithfulness can change the course of history. Jehosheba and Jehoiada weren't kings or warriors—they were a stepdaughter and a priest. But their courage, faith, and obedience became the turning point in Judah's story. God uses faithful people in hidden places to do extraordinary things.Show notes: BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!
