Lust of the flesh and eyes

[froilanr]

We encounter temptations everyday. Like on T.V. commercials and in our place we are living. A lady or a teenager who is wearing mini skirt or sleeveless on the street, mall or school. Pornography and sex videos?

As born again Christians what should we do to avoid temptations or sin?

The answer is in God's Word. Read and apply it in our daily lives.

PSALMS CHAPTER 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.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Apostle Paul's messages in Titus Chapter 2 are admonishing us how to live as a Christian in this present world.

These are challenges to the believers in Christ. Hope we can apply them in our daily living.
To be an impact and testimony in our present generation.

Here are some verses in the Bible (King James Version).

Titus Chapter 2
11 ¶ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 ¶ These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

By the way. We should read our Bible daily. Ask God always to give us His grace to apply them in our daily lives. Without His grace how can we apply His commandments?

I'm not a Pastor. But I just want to share the challenges from His Words. I need to be reminded also.

To God be the glory!

Also the verses I shared came from the online Bible (http://www.audio-bible.com/).
