"We may judge doctrine and behavior by the objective standards of right and wrong that are given to us in Scripture. What we may not do though, is judge a person’s heart and motives." - Tim Challies

Post the Strongest Soldiers at the Weakest Gate by Tim Challies

by Tim Challies Editor’s Note: This article by Tim Challies speaks to real life struggle for every Christian – the battle for sanctification. He uses a great analogy and helps us think through this great battle that every Christian faces. Often, I simply refer to the overall process of which he writes as self-counsel. His statement is spot on: In all our efforts to put sin to death and come alive…

“Flee” is a strong word. The Bible does not tell you to amble, meander, lope, or trot from your sin. It tells you to flee. Fleeing involves effort. It involves straining. It involves speed. You flee when you need to find and experience safety from a threat—a threat like a bear. You flee when it is too dangerous to remain where you are, when standing still would put you in mortal peril. What are we to flee? George Knight points out that “Paul always uses ‘flee’ in relation to particular sins, not sins in general.” His concern, then, is to warn you about those sins that are especially attractive and deadly. ~ Tim Challies

But the blessing of the kingdom of heaven is upon those who have been deeply saddened. Blessed are those who mourn their sin, for they shall be comforted. Content are those who are aggrieved by their iniquity, for they shall be consoled. Happy are those who are sad that they are evil-doers, for their tears shall be dried. Joyful are those who are downcast over their rebellion, for they shall be raised up. The favor of God is upon those whose eyes are awash with tears, whose lives have been shattered, whose hearts have been broken—broken by their sin and sinfulness.

“That iPhone in your pocket is not an ‘evil’ device. Yet it is prone to draw your heart away from God, to distract you and enable you to rely on your own abilities rather than trusting God.”

In all these ways we see that suffering is not harmful to believers but beneficial. Thus we should train ourselves to look less at the evil of suffering and more at the good, to look less at the dark side of the cloud and more at the light. The worst that God ever does to...

[pictobiblia]

"O que Deus criou primeiro: a fome ou a comida? Deus fez o homem ter fome e depois inventou o alimento para saciar a necessidade? Ou será que Deus primeiro inventou os alimentos e, em seguida, deu ao homem um apetite que o motivasse a buscar esse bom presente de Deus? A finalidade do sexo, então, é fornecer um meio único através do qual o marido e sua esposa podem conhecer um ao outro, servir um ao outro, expressar vulnerabilidade, dar e receber. Nenhuma outra área no casamento oferece tanto a ganhar e tanto a perder. Nenhuma outra área no casamento aproxima o casal de maneira tão profunda. E nenhuma mensagem poderia estar mais distante do que aquela retratada na pornografia."

Não deixe a pornografia afastar-te da igreja!

Com o boom da internet, a oferta de bons conteúdos que edificam nossas vidas aumentou significativamente. Em paralelo a isso, muitos outros conteúdos também tiveram suas ofertas potencializadas.

Devido à queda, muitos irmãos e irmãs lutam contra esse vício danoso para o relacionamento de um casal, afinal, todos somos pecadores e sofremos os efeitos da queda. Há quem lute silenciosamente contra a pornografia e a masturbação, gerando para si um enorme peso de culpa e consequentemente afastando-se do serviço na igreja e questionando até mesmo sua salvação, por não saber lidar com essa situação. É um problema real!

Se você, que está lendo este post, está lutando contra isso, precisa reafirmar sua fé e compreender a liberdade que temos em Jesus Cristo. Saiba que a concupiscência da carne e os desejos pecaminosos são reais. Não devemos temer amigos, pais ou qualquer outra pessoa, pensando em como seria vergonhoso se descobrissem o que você assiste. Lembre-se de que o Senhor Deus, cujos olhos estão sobre toda a terra, sabe de todas as coisas.

Essa situação pode ser uma expressão idolátrica do seu coração. Prazer? Narcisismo? Simples hedonismo? Conquista?

A expressão máxima de adoração ao Senhor Jesus é o ato de servir ao próximo. Assim como Jesus não buscou Seu próprio interesse e veio até nós humilhando-Se, da mesma forma no sexo, o cristão (homem ou mulher) deve ter em mente que é, antes de tudo, um servo de Deus e que ama seu cônjuge, sem imposições, sem subversões, mas com mutualidade, respeito e amor. 😍

Dicas para lutar:

Não crie um ambiente propício para pecar. Não fique sozinho, ouça hinos, lembre da Cruz.

Procure um amigo que esteja mais firme na fé e que te oriente para o evangelho.

Busque nutrir sua mente com conteúdos edificantes.

Pare de seguir pessoas que promovem uma cultura pornográfica.

Não seja apático nem egoísta. LUTE!

A pornografia não é o único pecado que viola a santidade de Deus, mas este post é especificamente sobre esse assunto."

Tim Challies' Favorite Book of 2022

Tim Challies’ Favorite Book of 2022

In a recent blog I recommended the Top New Biblical Counseling Books of 2022. When that list was compiled, my friend, Pat Nemmer’s new book had just been released. Therefore, it missed the list. However, since then, Tim Challies wrote a book review on Pat’s book and, as you can read below, said it was his favorite book of 2022. Therefore, for you and the other readers in your life who enjoy…

There are several places in the Bible where you, Christian, are commanded to flee, to turn tail and run from an enemy far more vicious than any bear.
