I know You had me on Your mindWhen You climbed up on that hillFor You saw me with eternal eyesWhile I was yet in sinRedeemer Savior Friend
Redeemer redeem my heart againSavior come and shelter me from sinYou're familiar with my weaknessDevoted to the endRedeemer Savior Friend
Every stripe upon Your battered backEvery thorn that pierced Your browEvery nail drove deep through guiltless handsSaid that Your love knows no endRedeemer Savior Friend
Redeemer redeem my heart againSavior come and shelter me from sinYou're familiar with my weaknessDevoted to the endRedeemer Savior Friend
So the grace You pour upon my lifeWill return to You in praise, And I'll gladly lay down all my crownsFor the name by which I'm savedRedeemer Savior Friend
Redeemer redeem my heart againSavior come and shelter me from sinYou're familiar with my weaknessDevoted to the endRedeemer Savior Friend

What reigns in you?• What rules your life?
– Requires thought and action– Choose righteousness
• Present yourself
• Who is your Master?
• Live under Grace– Power to refuse comes from God– Not simply “Self will”
• Grace is not permission to sin
Admitting your sin
• We don’t want to admit it is sin
• Confess– Admitting to God– Admitting to yourself
• Can Be Cleansed– Forgiveness is available– Christ forgives we must too
• Beware that we fail to admit to sin
Shooting the Messenger• Causing trouble
• Want other on our side
• Dividing children/family
• Slave to sin when we divide
• Deceitful, smooth talker
Admitting your sin
• Do you hear and get angry?
• We don’t want to be confronted, not my fault.
• Humble person receives the Word of God
• De a doer, not a hearer
Proverbs 9:17-18 17
Stolen water is sweet; And bread eaten in secret is pleasant." 18 But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
Beware!
• What looks good can turn bitter
• Lack of preparation and being alert can cause us to fall
• God does provide paths away, choose wisely
• Flee (run really fast) idolatry
• Be on guard!
Let’s Consider• Small amounts of rust can grow till
everything crumbles
• Small amounts of sin in our life/marriage can grow till it destroys us
• Present yourself to God, choose righteousness
• Living under grace is not permission to sin & be forgiven
Let’s Consider• Do let yourself be fooled when sin is
concern, stay on the alert
• Do not be mad at those who care about you
• What may seem sweet can turn sour
• Satan has a goal for your life; choose God goal for your life and marriage
