Looking at porn?

That makes us adulterers. And when God sees us, he would see 'sinful', 'offending' and 'criminal' clearly written across our eyeballs, ready to pronounce judgement against them. 

Yet Jesus' eyes tasted judgement in place of our eyes. 

In fact, it was not just his eyes but his whole body too.

So, being pardoned by grace, let us all the more protect our eyes lest we get enticed completely and be thrown (eyes and all) into hell.

If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

Matthew 5:29

Killing the pirate within.

As we look to the cross it teaches us the lordship of Christ, the grace we receive and the value of godliness.

What a joy to see this in action!

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2

In wringing and twisting pain.

Jesus is coming back—
What a beautiful thing to know.

Pondering how to split your soul?

Sometimes I forget that there is a heaven to be gained and a hell to be shunned. In gaining Christ and being found in him, we must die to sin—how can we live in it any longer? If we pursue treasures on earth, Jesus says it will be easier for the camel to go through the eye of a needle than for us to enter the kingdom of God.

We cannot serve two masters. Either we will hate the one and love the other, or will be devoted to the one and despise the other. We cannot serve both God and the desires of our flesh. 

Don't hide your soul in this world.

What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Mark 8:36

Heavenly Father,

This feels like hell and (bad word) right now.

I don't know or fully understand absolutely why you are letting this happen,

But I am absolutely certain that Jesus has forgiven my sins and prepared a place for me.

Thank you for the comfort of the brothers and sisters who love me,

And for the confidence that at the end of the day Jesus will reign.

Please give me the strength, wisdom and love to persevere in steadfastness.

That even in this hell state, your glory may be revealed in me.

Amen.

Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray.

James 5:13
