Where persons cherish secret predominant lusts in their hearts and lives, God is not in their thoughts as he ought to be. He may be,-He is not, He cannot be, in a due manner. And such persons no doubt there are. Ever and anon we hear of one and another whose secret lusts break forth into a discovery. They flatter themselves for a season, but God ofttimes so orders things in His holy providence that their iniquity shall be found out to be hateful.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who . . . correctly handles the word of truth. — 2 Timothy 2:15 A woman from a local church volunteers three hours each Wednesday with our campus ministry. She gives grandmotherly advice, prays with students, and provides a lot of them with food. She is also a good storyteller! She tells students that, years ago, she inherited a wolfdog. As a pup, he was content to live a dog's life, but when she moved north, where wolves still roam (and howl), the dog became restless and wanted to roam also. Then one day he ran off to follow the call of the wild and was seen no more. In some ways a similar thing can happen in our life as followers of Jesus. Our old sinful nature still clings to us—and as the world calls out to us with alluring temptations, that old nature can stir within. Selfish and sinful tendencies can try to come back to life. Social media and every other form of media make their impact. The people around us influence us greatly. We can also be “dragged away by [our] own evil desire and enticed” (James 1:14). We do well to take time as individuals, as families, and as groups of believers to practice accountability, discussing some questions like these: “Is my life and what I believe in line with godly living and the kingdom of God? Or is it bending toward my old sinful nature and the values of the world? Holy God, remind us each day to examine our hearts, our minds, and our lives. Help us to stay faithful to your Word and your kingdom. In Jesus' name, Amen.
In Colossians 2:20-23, Paul teaches that the denial of the flesh does not necessarily decrease the power nor the attraction of the flesh.
Romans 8:5-13 // Nathan MillerThere is a freedom that comes from God's Spirit, that you just can't get anywhere else. But we tend to define freedom as the ability to do whatever I want. To fulfill my desires, whatever those desires are. But that's not real freedom because those desires so often hurt ourselves and others.Real freedom. The freedom God offers us. Is the freedom to do what will actually satisfy. Freedom to do what is good, loving, and beautiful. And we know this! We want this! Whether you're a Christian or not, whether you're religious or not, we know that a life lived loving others is better than a life loving only ourselves and our desires.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49243659PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new24.04.21

Sin is fundamentally not a behavioral issue; it is a being issue. We are not righteous people who occasionally sin. We sin because we are sinners. Our heart is corrupt, and since the heart is the core of our being, there is no aspect of ourselves that escapes corruption, behavior included. This problem of defilement, therefore, requires a solution far greater than behavior modification. For more resources for knowing and loving God's Word, visit bcnewton.co

God's Abandonment (vv.24-25) Manifestations of Sinful Desires (vv.26-27) Conclusion 神的任憑(第24-25 节) 人的恶欲(第26-27 节) 结论
Apart from God's word, man has no way to understand his place in the cosmos. In God's word, man's significance is made clear. God declares that he has created us all--each one--in his image, and beyond that, and to his glory, God has created each one male or female. This morning, Keith Pond highlights the importance of this truth as an anchor point for the believer today and then examines seven questions that confront each Christian in the face of a hostile world.
PRINCIPLE OF SPIRITUAL FITNESS AND THE POWER OF GOD. PART 14. ROMANS CHAPTER 7 AND 8 PROVIDES AN IN-DEPTH CASE STUDY THAT ANY SERIOUS FOLLOWER OF CHRIST SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN, PARTICULARLY IF WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AND STRENGTHENING OF THE SPIRIT MAN, OR THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART, AS CORRECTLY STATED BY THE KING JAMES TRANSLATION. PAUL CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND THE REASON WHY WE NEED TO TRAIN OUR SPIRIT IF WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT WALKING BY THE POWER OF THE LIFE AND AUTHORITY HEAVEN HAS MADE AVAILABLE FOR US. YES, WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF SPIRITUAL WEAKNESS. A LACK OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH IS THE PRIMARY OBSTACLE THAT HAS STOPPED MANY BELIEVERS FROM LIVING THEIR LIVES TO THE FULLEST POTENTIAL AND EXPERIENCING THE POWER OF CHRIST THAT RESIDES WITHIN THEM. HE STARTED BY SHARING HIS OWN PERSONAL STORY OF SPIRITUAL WEAKNESS, AND HOW IT PREVENTED HIM FROM DOING THE THINGS HE LOVED, ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF GOD. HE SPOKE ABOUT THE INTERNAL STRUGGLE HE CONSTANTLY FACES BETWEEN THE PART OF HIM THAT WANTS TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF CHRIST AND THE PART OF HIM THAT WANTS TO LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS NATURAL, SINFUL DESIRES. SO, AS WE COMMENCE THIS STUDY, I WANT TO EXPLORE THIS BACKGROUND AS A FOUNDATIONAL INTRODUCTION AND UNDERSTANDING, TO APPRECIATE WHY WE NEED SPIRITUAL FITNESS IN THE ERA OF SERIOUS SPIRITUAL WARFARE. THE MAIN ISSUE THAT MOST CHRISTIANS FACE IS NOT THAT THE DEVIL IS STRONGER, BUT THAT WE LACK THE ABILITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LIFE AND POWER THAT CHRIST PROVIDES US. THEREFORE, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CONSTRUCT A ROBUST, FEARLESS SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY BASED ON THE GEM OF THE SPIRIT. THE NEED FOR EACH OF US TO SEE WHY WE MUST GIVE IN TO THE TRAINING OF OUR SPIRIT MAN IS SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED. IT MUST BECOME A PRESENT PRIORITY, NOT SOMETHING TO PUSH TO LATER PROJECTS. vision for spiritual fitness. WHATEVER, WE SEEK TO CARRY OUT WITHOUT A CLEAR DEFINITE VISION THAT SETS OUT A DEFINE MISSION AND PURPOSE, WILL AT SOME POINT FIZZLE OUT, OR JUST DIE NATURALLY. VISION, FOR WHATEVER PURPOSE SUSTAINS AND HANDLES ALL PRESSURE, EVEN THE ONE THAT TEMPTS US TO QUIT BEFORE SUCCESS IS ACHIEVED. I AM LAYING THIS BACKGROUND INSIGHT AS A FRAMEWORK THAT GIVES US THE VISION FOR WHAT IS PROPHETICALLY PEND DOWN IN THIS ARTICLE, WHICH I STRONGLY BELIEVE YOU WILL CAREFULLY AND PRAYERFULLY READ BECAUSE IT CARRIES THE POTENTIAL TO STIR AND REAWAKEN YOUR PASSION AND QUEST FOR SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ADVANCEMENT. THOSE WHO GOES INTO STRICT TRAINING IN COMPETING FOR A SPORT CAREER UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT STACK. WINNING A GOLD MEDAL AT A SPORT EVENT, SOMETIME COULD BE CONSIDERED AS LUCK BY SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO ALSO MIGHT HAVE PARTICIPATED. BUT IF THE SAME PERSON WHO WON DID IT FOR FIVE CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN A ROLE, THEN, THAT IS NO LONGER A WIN BY ACCIDENT OR LUCK. IT IS A PROOF THAT THAT SUCH A PERSON IS, INDEED, A CHAMPION, A MASTER OF HIS CRAFT IN WINNING HIS GAMES. LIFE IS NOT A GAME OF CHANCE, BUT ONE ESTABLISHED ON THE FOUNDATION OF VISIONARY FOCUS TO FULFIL THE BURNING MANDATE OF ONE'S EXISTENCE. SPIRITUAL FITNESS IS ALMOST THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE THINK AND LOOK AT THE IDEA OF FITNESS FROM A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE. EVERYTHING WE THINK ABOUT AND UNDERSTAND AS FITNESS EITHER FROM THE PHYSICAL OR MENTAL POSITION IS ALSO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT SPIRITUAL FITNESS IS ALL ABOUT. PAUL, PUT IT THIS WAY ACCORDING TO 2 CORINTHIANS 12:10, WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG. IF WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND AND OPERATE IN THE DIMENSION OF SPIRITUAL FITNESS, THEN WE MUST LOOK AT HOW THE BIBLE DEFINES SPIRITUAL FITNESS. WE CANNOT PRESUME ON THE MATTER. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/isaiah-phillips-akintola/message

He is the author of Revelation and Response and Irresistible Beauty.In this episode Sam and I discuss his most recent book, Thinking Christianly. We dive into several chapters related to abortion and desire. We also discuss Carl F.H. Henry and empathy. Should we empathize with people who want to sin? Should Christians be whole-life pro-life? How are Christians to think about abortion today? What is the role of desire and confession in the Christian life? When does a desire become sinful?Join my Pateron - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisSam's Website - https://samuelparkison.wordpress.com/Sam's Twitter - https://twitter.com/samuel_parkisonFirst Interview (YouTube) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmUWt-yTK-o&t=7sFirst Interview (Podcast) - https://www.buzzsprout.com/1249781/episodes/7598953“Thinking Christianly” - https://amzn.to/3nsXjZ7
Luke 22:1-6 - "The Power of Sinful Desires" - Rev. Wes Holland
Welcome to the Victory Church Weekly Podcast! Even after we accept Christ as our Savior, we will still be exposed to sinful desires. Fortunately, God's Word provides ways to overcome them. Let's look at some practical ways that we can overcome these temptations and live the full life God desires for us. **Get my new book!: Change Your Mind to Change Your Life!** You can reach my daily blog at mitchhorton.com Get plugged in at Victory Church at victorychurchraleigh.com Hit subscribe, and turn on notifications so that you can get the podcast delivered daily on your phone!
"Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being tempted by God,' for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death." - James 1:13-15
Series: How We Are to Relate to the Law in the Christian AgeService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Caleb Adkisson
This week in our sermon series on the Westminster Shorter Catechism we come to the tenth commandment. All the commandments should be understood as addressing our hearts, but this is the commandment that explicitly does so. We need to recognise that God's authority reaches even to the very desires of our hearts.
This week in our sermon series on the Westminster Shorter Catechism we come to the tenth commandment. All the commandments should be understood as addressing our hearts, but this is the commandment that explicitly does so. We need to recognise that God's authority reaches even to the very desires of our hearts.
This is the second sermon preached by Pastor Chad at Creekside Bible Church. In this sermon, on 1 Peter 2:11-12, he calls people to live beautiful lives by abstaining from sinful desires and doing good works in order that those outside Christianity might glorify God. Over the course of the next several months we will share more vintage sermons (including a sermon Chad preached from the only pulpit Martin Luther King Jr. preached from in Oregon). We appreciate you listening, rating, reviewing, and subscribing.

This morning, Rosie read from 1 Peter 2:11-12: 'Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.' Let us pray together that we are abstaining from our sinful desires. May we be protected by the Holy Spirit and our hearts guarded from against that which is not good for us. Let us also pray for those around us, that they see God being glorified through us.

Want more resources from Small Town Theologian (STT)? Check out smalltowntheologian.org and follow me on Facebook. STT is a member of the Society of Reformed Podcasters. The Heidelberg Catechism can help us understand our sinful inclinations. Though God's law exposes our sin, it also pushes us to Christ for comfort and rest. When we realize how deeply sin goes into us, we run to Christ, we receive Christ by true faith, and Christ helps us in our deepest struggles. There is comfort, rest, and hope in Christ as we battle and repent of concupiscence.
Join Ryan, John, and Isaac as they discuss why it's important to find a mentor, why we should be reading our Bibles on a daily basis, how to pursue righteousness over our sinful desires, and how to navigate some of the challenges that come along with serving/leading in ministry!

Stay near to God and make Him your refuge, even in the mundane moments of life.
One of the biggest struggles of the Christian life is that sin wages war against our souls. Some good news for us is that God changes us and gives us his Spirit to help us fight sin and become more like Jesus. In this message Doug teaches what the Bible has to say about how we can fight sin.

Wednesday Night Quieting a Noisy Soul
Quieting a Noisy Soul Wednesday Night
God released these men over to their sinful desire. Some of those sinful desires were sexual impurity.
God released these men over to their sinful desire. Some of those sinful desires were sexual impurity.
Every one of us is involved in a battle. Our sinful desires are at war with our souls. Romans 7:14-25 describes this fight in greater detail. In our text the Apostle Peter is concerned that our souls win. By "souls" he is probably referring to our whole selves and not just some part of us. Hebrew people perceived of themselves as a whole unit while Greeks tended to refer to various parts (Mind, Soul, and Spirit). Peter's point is that sinful desires, while tempting, only manage to destroy us. The kinds of sinful desires he is referring to are spelled out in 2:1. They are the result of pride or ego issues. In fact, pride is the first and perhaps foremost sin of humankind. Think in terms of the Garden temptation: (Gen. 3:5) "you will be like God." These desires surface whenever we perceive we are "hard done by" or treated unfairly. This certainly was the case for Peter's readers who were suffering for their faith. The most natural temptation would be to lash out or retaliate against the oppression. Peter gives us some advice on how to win the battle over our evil desires. In the end not only is it good for our souls that we overcome these things, it is good for the Kingdom. Neighbours are watching, unbelieving husbands are wondering. Our behavior can overcome the world's prejudice and result in glory to God. Questions for Discussion: 1. Slide 2-3. Read Romans 7:14-25. Can you identify with Paul's dilemma? Is it true that all sins result from pride? Is pride the original and besetting sin of humankind? 2. Slide 5. Why does Peter use these terms of endearment at this point of the letter? 3. Slide 6. Why is it so important that followers of Jesus know their citizenship is in the Kingdom of God? What dangers do we face when we forget that we are aliens and strangers here? 4. Slide 7. What do you make of this statement: "Desires are not wrong but what we do with them can be." See James 1:13-15. 5. Slide 8-9. Discuss general accusations brought against followers of Jesus today. Are they because of wrongdoing or are they misperceptions? How can we prevent the misperceptions? 6. Slide 10-11. Discuss the tension between God's holiness and Jesus' submission. How do we live as both holy people and at the same time follow Jesus into a dark world? 7. Slide 12-13. Discuss the disciples' submission to authority in the book of Acts. At what point did they respectfully push back against worldly authority? What about Jesus in the Gospels? Are there some lessons here for us?
