The more we walk with God and are filled with His Word, the more we will see His truth touch our relationships, our business, etc. In this episode, Nate and Gabe talk about the value of dealing with honesty in all aspects of our lives.
All relationships are built on trust. And trust is built as a person proves himself trustworthy. When we keep our word, trust is built; when we break our word, trust is broken.
Oftentimes it is easy for us to belittle our words — to make excuses for not keeping our word or to justify ourselves for why we didn’t do what we said we would do. However, God calls us to a higher way of living. As Christians, we need to be as good as our word!
Temptation comes in different forms – there is temptation caused by the physical realm and temptation caused by the spiritual realm. God has made a way for us to escape – and it comes as we understand our position in Christ!
Nate and Gabe share from the example of Achan how lust plays out in our lives. In life we will be faced with things we can’t always control, but by the grace of God, we don’t have to turn our heart toward those things. If we let Him, God can train us to look away from those things to Him! This is the way of victory!
Galatians 6:7 says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” One key to overcoming lust in our lives is to realize that every thought we think is a seed planted, and it will bear fruit.
Moral freedom is not a status to be obtained, it is a Person to be depended upon. And that Person’s name is Jesus!
Lust is a matter of the heart. This is what makes lust so serious. What we set our hearts upon determines the course of our lives.
