Let us throw off - Heb 12:1

"So let us throw off any sin that stands in our way. Let us throw off any sin that holds onto us so tightly" - Hebrews 12:1

This verse talks about SIN. What is Sin? Sin is -


Missing the mark
Not living up to God's moral standards.
Disobedience to Divine law.
An inward element, presence or power that produces immoral actions.


Sin breaks our relationship with God. It blocks our path. Sin is all of that stuff above! But Sin can lead us to disobeying God. It can stop us from having prayerful lives. "Be on your guard, stand firm in the Faith" (1 Cor 16:13). We can stop sin from stopping us being close to God! There are lots of ways that we can keep in touch with God! Like...

-Praying (1 Peter 5:8 says 'Your enemy the Devil prowls around like a lion looking for someone to devour')

- Reading Our Bible ("Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" - Psalms 119:105)


Sometimes, doing what God wants is hard and we want to do the "passing pleasures of Sin" but if we cling on to God, our reward in Heaven will be great. "By Faith, Moses refusing to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter, chose rather to suffer ill treatment with God's people than enjoy the passing pleasures of Sin" (Heb 11:24-25)




Let us throw off any Sin that holds on to us! And let us bring closer the Word of God to our lives!

Why remain pure? Learn about pureness in this amazing devotional....

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life.

What is the wisdom of the world to God? FOOLISHNESS!

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...
