  • Bitterness: The Root that Pollutes (Lou Priolo)

    When people treat you wrongly, insult you, or are outright sinful to you, how do you react? Are you satisfied to hold grudges against those who wrong you, as long as they don’t lead to action?

  • Sexual Sin: Combatting the Drifting and Cheating

    “Any time you see a person engage in illicit sexual behavior, you can be sure that he or she is a cheater,” writes Jeffrey S. Black. “He or she wants sexual gratification without intimacy.” Likewise, Black tells us that people never leap into extreme forms of sin; they “drift” into them, and habits that were bad soon move to worse, even unthinkable.  How does such a person cease their cheating and drifting? Because sexuality is a spiritual act, not a purely biological one, the solution has to do with planting God’s Word in our hearts. Here Black shows us how the Bible reaches to the roots of sexual sin.
