James 1:14-15, Romans 6:18, 1 Cor 10:13 8/11/15

James 1: ¹⁴ but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. ¹⁵ Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

  Sin is a process. 

 It's not a one time occurrence that we commit and leave behind.  If we entertain evil desires, and are dragged into sin,  it starts a process that unless interrupted ends in death.  Sin is never stagnant...you are either moving away from it- or moving towards it. When you allow it to take hold in your life it begins to grow and its ultimate goal is destruction.

There are no "pet" sins, or sins that you can control...ANY sin, when it finishes growing - will kill things in your life.   Either you destroy sin, or its destroys you.

I talk a lot about God's Grace, and if you know me, you know why... but God knows the destructive power of sin...and His Grace gives us freedom FROM sin, not freedom TO sin.

 Roman 6:18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

Seize that freedom and never underestimate the destructive power of sin, or the price God paid to deliver you from its' grasp.

1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able

Take an honest look at your life, and make sure there are no areas where you are being "dragged" away and enticed.  If you are, do whatever  it takes to break free, stop the process, and live your life as a slave to righteousness...the only way to true freedom
