  • Wrap-up
    • Put to death sin – it doesn’t say slap it on the wrist.  Take out a freakin sword and decapitate it.

      Colossians 3:5  Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

    • THE WHAT – Does it say snuggle up with sin, does it say elbow sin..No no.

    • THE HOW: No killing sin is pretty serious. If we were to just punch sin in the face then it wouldn’t be so serious and wouldn’t take so much effort. If we were to try to knock sin out then maybe we would train a little bit for it – maybe you’d read a book or two to help. But no it says to kill sin. So to kill something you need a plan – its VERY SERIOUS. You can’t just wing it. And sometimes even with a plan you’re plan my fail. And so what are you to  do.

      1. Team-mates: Well you might recruit some friends you might recruit some teammates. However, sometimes that sin might be so big and so terrible that a plan and teammates aren’t enough
      2. Professionals: A next step up is you might have to bring in professionals. You might have to go see a Pastor you might have to go see a counselor you might have to go see several counselors maybe a personal counselor and/or maybe a marriage counselor.
      3. Homework: You might have to study. You might have to read a book you might have to take a course. ( FPU example). And sometimes if you’re fighting a big enough war let’s, let’s say for example a culture war then even a plan with teammates and professionals might not be enough if you really want to kill this sin.
      4. Join the Army: In those cases, the next step up is you need an army. For example in World War II we needed a team , we needed a plan,  we needed teammates we needed professionals and we needed an army and we need to tactics.
      5. Attrition: And sometimes even with all those things the sin might hang on. But with agood leader ship ,which we have (Jesus), and good teammates which we have (F3 Brothers), and good pastors,  which we have, and a good army which we have, The last several ingredients of killing sin can be time and attrition which in scriptural terms is called perseverance.

I want to encourage you brothers to enroll each other in each others armies to fight sin until you have decapitated it – in all its forms which are:

Anger, malice, sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, rage, slander, and filthy language. That’s 11 sins to go kill – use every tactic, every brother, every book, every course, every captain and General, then hang on and starve that sin to death through attrition if need be.  Kill it brothers! Kill it!

Lots of very interesting things have happened at ORNL since its beginning in 1943.  One was that they hired me 20 years ago on Jan 29th 2001.  Here’s a link describing ORNL’s history.  https://www.ornl.gov/content/seventy-five-years-great-science.  Check out the timeline and interactive mural.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Where are you invested with your time?  Where you spend your time shows those around where your priorities are.  If you are out of line, like me, then focus your time where it belongs and get back on track.  For me, being more present while home with the wife and kids, as well as doing intentional things on the weekends.  Work sucks up an inordinate amount of time for me, and my family doesn’t need to feel like they are 2nd to work.
