(5/31/16)
TWO STATEMENTS, SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT, BUT BOTH ARE BIBLICAL.
* Sin makes you stupid (a dullard, a simpleton, a fool).
* Sin makes you crazy (uncontrolled and uncontrollable madness, spiritually based insanity, being out of one's mind).
* The first one leads to the second one if the first one is not surrendered to Christ.
The downward spiral of losing your mind.
Psalms 1:1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Either surrender to God or God surrenders you over to absolute wickedness.
Romans1:28
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Wholeness requires total commitment.
Matthew 22:37-38
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
Total commitment acquires wholeness.
Romans 1:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2 Timothy 1:7
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
