This is very encouraging, I cut off watching movies and listening to songs that are not hymns I decided to find comfort in God’s word the bible. I've learned more than when I was distracted by the entertainments of this world. It was hard in the beginning of six months but God granted me the desire to read His word, it changed my thinking and cultivated a lot of knowledge and wisdom in my heart. David says to Sovereign Lord in psalms 119:10 I have hidden your word in my heart so that I might not sin against you. I am not perfect because I am still in the flesh but Jesus Christ is continuing the good work He began in me through the process of sanctification in my life. I can't say it's fun and enjoyable 😁 because it's hard to walk in spirit in this body of flesh but Christ strengthens me every minute and the Holy spirit rests upon me. The hope that we all have is that before Christ comes for His flock, we might try and help our families to turn to Christ for salvation. It's hard to shake off dust on a family member and not witness to them anymore. It's good to have a pure mind that produces fruit that is required from us by Our Heavenly Father. The chaos in the world right now is being supported and portrayed in movies and music nowadays the violence, swearing, using His name in vain homosexuality, fornication, sorcery, murder, debauchery, self righteousness and many more are being glorified in this movies and consumers are really taking them in and putting them to practice. It's brought chaos in the world I'd suggest we be godly and take matters of God's kingdom with seriousness because we're the salt of the world and salt is useless if it loses its taste Matthew 5:13
I know that this is an old video, but it really gave me a wakeup call about what I am allowing myself to think about. I know that Steve Lawson is no longer a pastor of his church and he can fall into sin, so I too can fall easily into sin. Pray for Steve Lawson and his family and for each other not to fall into temptation. God bless
This message still true today and to God be the glory. God uses sinful men, fallen men, but GOD promises are forever, for those who repent, and put their trust is Christ alone.
Thankful for faithful Pastor like Mr. Lawson, he is a rare jewel a huge blessing to the Church of Christ. Sound teaching it’s so rare now a days sadly so many Christians are foreign to sound doctrine.
My all-time favorite scripture! So glad I came across this. This scripture (and others) is what influenced me to cut my cable subscription in 1997. Unfortunately, my husband had it reconnected in 2016. Then, I asked him if he would consider cutting it, and (after lots of prayer on my part) he finally did two months ago! Very loving husband. Cutting cable didn't stop me from sinning (we will fight sin until the day we die), but it definitly curtailed its depth and frequency! The beauty, and bonus, of practicing this discipline is that your emotions will line up with your mind. As you rule over your thoughts, your emotions will follow. Emotions are God-given, wonderful expressions- in their place. In. their. place. I don't think Pastor Lawson intends to be fatalistic, so I'll say this: A contrite heart He will in no wise cast out. The other beautiful thing that will happen if you put away the filth - cutting it off and out of your life - and turn to God for forgiveness, in His mercy He will cleanse your mind and restore your love and faith and devotion to Him. Yes, you will struggle against the constant intrusion and desire of the filth you let in, BUT you will be empowered to fight and blessed with victory over those tempting, wayward thoughts. A contrite heart He will in wise cast out.
Peace does leave a forwarding address. It's in Hebrews 4:16. Come boldly to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and grace in time of need. All that's needed is a humble, repentant heart and mind.
One sure way to be deceived by false doctrine, is to hate the truth. Many kick against the pricks; resisting their convictions. Many heap to themselves teachers that will soothe their itching ears.
Please translated this preaching to the Spanish. If someone can do it. We need to listen this and other preaching (predicaciones) . God bless you and your family
11:30 Nope we didn’t get a new mind, that’s why we still struggle with old habits patterns and old conditioning. We renew the mind, we learn to think how God thinks by the teachings of Jesus and by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Sorry when born again it was our spirits not the mind that was reborn.
And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change His Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him.

Chapter 18 The cave سورة الكهف - Al-Kahf: Verse 29 Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong-doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on! Chapter 18 The cave سورة الكهف - Al-Kahf: Verse 30 As to those who believe and work righteousness, verily We shall not suffer to perish the reward of any who do a (single) righteous deed. Chapter 18 The cave سورة الكهف - Al-Kahf: Verse 31 For them will be Gardens of Eternity; beneath them rivers will flow; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade: They will recline therein on raised thrones. How good the recompense! How beautiful a couch to recline on! Great Quran

Edification, through the truth... Invaluable teaching. Thank God for this sermon... Kill sin, or it will kill you.
Expository Preaching.. done right. Fantastic.
This Pastor, Steve Lawson, is the follow expositor to biblical truths following Dr. John MacAurthur and Dr. R. C. Sprout! God to be praised! Amen
understanding scriptures in the proper context of the scriptures and not taking it out of context to fit our sinful hearts.
Thanks much sir Steven.. Thank you!
