E.Z. has endured his own spiritual battles in life. By 15 years old, he had been expelled from two schools, joined the Crips gang, was a rap artist who struggled with substance abuse. He later attempted suicide in front of his family. In 1991, he underwent a profound transformation after hearing the gospel and turned his life over to Christ. By twenty-one, E.Z. was an ordained pastor attending a Christian university, married, and had started a family. Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne is the president of Living Waters (with Ray Comfort), and author of Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal Purity that presents biblical truths and strategies to combat the enemies of purity. Whether the battle is with lust, pornography, sex outside marriage, or adultery and despite how many times we’ve failed to overcome sexual sin, E.Z. assures us that hope is available through the love, forgiveness, and grace of God, which were demonstrated through the death and resurrection of Christ.Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Danny takes us into Ephesians 2, and tackles a tough but important topic - total depravity and the effects of sin. "Sin hasn't spare a single part of us. It's seeped into everything, our thoughts, our feelings and wants. Every corner of our lives has been tainted. This goes deep right to the core of who we are". Danny covers the 3 enemies 1. System and culture of the world 2. Satan our accuser actively working to intimidate & bring fear 3. The flesh - our desire to gratify our selfish human nature Danny also said most times "we don't think we need to be saved by God, we only think we need some help from God". Things actually are worse that we care to admit and we need saving.

There's a big difference in the eternities that both will be facing. One thing is common – eternity is forever. What's different is the condition of eternity for the believer and the unbeliever. That's why it is crucial to discuss the end while living in the time that we can impact it. I hope that makes sense to you. As we discuss how the 1000-year millennial kingdom ends, it becomes clear the power of our "sin-nature" really is then as it is now.

Now That We're A Family
188: Hormones, Sinful Nature, and Vices We Are Trying to Overcome

Now That We're A Family

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 13, 2022 51:37


How do you determine if negative feelings are from hormone issues or a sinful nature? When it comes to feelings, feelings are a physiological response to something. It's an emotion. It's in our body. We can't necessarily control where feelings come from (ie. hunger). It's not a sin to just feel a feeling. It's what we do with that feeling that makes it sinful or not. Hormone issues can be a root of a feeling that's sinful or a feeling that we have to surrender to the Lord, move past and choose not to act on or wallow in. There is a definitive line that is hard to identify for us humans as to when it crosses over to sin. Clearly we are told in the Bible that Jesus was tempted as every man's been tempted and yet He was without sin. That makes it very clear that being tempted is not sining. It's obviously a sin when you act out in those things though. A defining characteristic of Christians is that we are not bondage to our bodies anymore in Christ. We've been set free from any captivity that our bodies had over us prior to Christ. Our old man is dead. We are new creations in Christ. We came to Christ in faith and are now no longer slaves to sin, but we are redeemed in Christ's righteousness. We are learning and growing as Christians every day. The Bible tells us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior. Growth is a part of being a Christian. “A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.” - Proverbs 22:3 What's one vice that you're always praying to overcome? A scary thing a lot of Christians do is categorize various big sins like pornography, drunkenness and adultery and think that you're good if you haven't done those things. God's standard is so much higher than these overt sins we like to categorize. How do you overcome your vice? If it's a conviction thing then you need to bring it to the Lord and know that you're free to walk away from it. There are many things that aren't a sin unless you make it a sin. One things that has been helpful is being clear on what we actually want our life to look like and then being proactive and spending our time doing that instead. If you're passionate and excited about that thing, then you won't have the time to do those other things that were consuming your life and becoming a vice. In our Christian walk, we should be thinking about who we are turning towards, instead of what we are turning away from. It is very easy to wallow in the sin of what we did today and the sin of the past. We have to be daily turning towards Christ. The only freedom from any vice is going to be found in Jesus Christ, in what He's accomplished and who He is! “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” - Hebrews 12:2 - Looking for more Now That We're A Family resources?
