WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

Materialism is a lust for the things of the flesh, allowing worldly things to possess us can lead to idolatry. Jesus said, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor […]

Uncleanness is immorality, one of the works of the flesh listed in (Galatians 5:19 NKJV), and it can be a powerful sin that controls your life. So, it’s understandable that you could lose hope.  However, as Christians we are call to a life of sanctification. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 NKJV) If we examine why we do […]

Lust can never be satisfied. It will always demand more. The only cure for lust is to starve it to death (Romans 8:13 NKJV). If you feed it, it will go into a feeding frenzy and draw you deeper and deeper into it.  The sin of lust began in the garden of Eden when Satan […]

There’s nothing wrong with money. It’s a means by which we exchange commodities and goods with one another. The Bible doesn’t say that money is evil––it says, “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10 NKJV). If getting rich is the most important thing to you, and you […]

The prophet Ezekiel tells us the sin of Sodom started with pride, abundance, idleness, and they neglected the poor and needy. (Ezekiel 16:49-50 NKJV). The term “sodomy,” is the obvious sin of Sodom.

Gambling has an addictive capacity. A man can find himself under the dominion of this addiction and under its power so quickly. You see, a person who is involved in sinful practices, such as gambling, is yielding himself as a servant unto sin. The Bible says, “Do you not know that to whom you present […]

Fornication is having sexual relations outside of marriage. The world terms it “making love.” However, it’s not an act of love at all; it’s an act of lust. A person who entices someone else into the act of fornication is selfish since they are not considering the other person, but only thinking about satisfying their […]

Gluttony is a sin that Christians like to ignore.  As we are often quick to categorize smoking and drinking as sins, but for some reason gluttony is accepted and normalized in today’s society. As with smoking and drinking, the Bible is clear that gluttony is equally harmful to a believer’s walk and testimony of Christ. […]

The word “sorcery” stems from the root word pharmakeia, when we also get the modern term anti-depressants, pharmacy, painkillers and/or prescription drug. When we find sorcery or witchcraft in the Bible, it refers to the use of drugs for hallucinogenic or mind-altering purposes, like narcotics. God’s law strictly prohibits drug use because

Depression doesn’t just hurt you; it also hurts everyone around you. There is nothing more depressing than talking to a person who is depressed, sometimes lasting weeks, months, and even years. Everything you suggest that might help, they return with a negative statement and attitude. You do your best to lift them up out of […]
