Moving On and Sin Is Deadly

Ladies, what a pleasure it has been to do this bible study with you. I have so enjoyed hearing Priscilla, Beth, and Kay speak. I'm learning stuff and hope you are too. If you missed last week's session, here are the notes:
1. We've got to move past our devastation with God. David was angry and afraid but he had to get past that.
2. We've got to return to whole-hearted obedience. Joy is coming.
3. Let's have the courage to see the fulfillment of God's promises to us.
4. Your God has good things for you - not painless things for you, good things for you!

Kay lead the discussion this week. I like her style a lot. She's down to earth and really loves her Savior. So cool! Here are the notes from this week...

Scriptures tell us that the following is sin:
1-Sin is to knowing the right thing and not doing it.
2-Sin is lawlessness. It means that you are not going to keep the law of God.
3-All unrighteousness is sin. To not do what is right in the eyes of God is sin.
4-Whatever is not of faith is sin.

Five Things About Sin:
1-Sin will take you farther than you ever intended to go. She referenced 2 Samuel 11 & 12, and also 1 Chronicles 11:41 (the story of David and Bathsheba)
2-When you sin, you are despising God.
3-Sin is evil.
4-The temptation to sin is not more than you can bear.
5-Sin costs you more than you expected to pay.

This is all good information. I needed to hear it.

I hope to see you all on Tuesday if not before then!
