SELF-DESTRUCTION

We know we should not alter the Word of God, but we change Laws that go against His Word. We know, Drinking will destroy our liver, but we keep drinking. Smoking will give us cancer, but we keep smoking.  AIDS will kill us, but we keep having unprotected sex.  We know that cheating and adultery will end our relationships, but we still do it. We know drugs are addictive, but we still use them. We know glutton is a sin, but "we all have things others can use" will not give it away. We claim to be followers of Christ, but we do not follow anything He says.  Our worldly desires will Eventually lead to self-destruction.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Our Pastors will only preach things that do not offend the people, catering to our desires and passions; instead of preaching the Truth that gives conviction.

Father, we know the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. You have warned us, as You warned us before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  So, Lord, help us receive the Truth of Your Word, let us keep what's good.  Help us practice the Truth we have learned so it will manifest in our lives.  Lord, help us understand that if we love You enough, we will change and do righteously.  Thank You, Lord, for giving us the wisdom of Your Word and the knowledge to implement the Truth in our lives and saving us from self-destruction, in Jesus name Amen
