Basic Christian Living

This message starts with a some finalizing words from the series entitled, "Dealing With Lust!"
Romans 12 is probably one of the most popular teachings from the Bible. Isn't that a wonderful chapter in the Bible? It is so practical and is really an outline of how to live this Christian life! The life of a Christian must be more than just staying out of trouble with God! Many people live their whole Christian life with the mentality of trying to stay out of trouble. God is not the principle of our school that we have to go to when we are in trouble! He is the God of the universe! He longs to have a relationship with each of us that is alive and active! Let's learn how to live the basic Christian live like God planned it for us from the beginning!

“You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your hand—even your stronger hand—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell." - Matthew 5:27-30 NLT
