Lately, this has been a subject we as a youth group have talked about a lot... for some reason a verse jumped out of my head and hit me like a pool ball in the end of a sock across my face... It floored me man and it would do you well friends to store this one up in your heart(memorize).
"In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood" (Hebrews 12:4).
Couldn't be more simple stupid. When sin is staring you in the face and you are doing your typical trying to suppress your thoughts of God so you can indulge your flesh, recite this one to yourself: "In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood." In fact, you aren't even resisting. You are going down like a chump. You're not even trying. Let alone trying hard enough to bleed. You're a wimp. Don't let God catch you being a wimp.
Wrestle sin to the cross. Abstain from everything evil. Fight it man to the point of death, or you will die. Resist. Flee. Fight. Don't let sin win.
