It's Your Responsibility to Kill Sin - Tim Conway

  • 0:01 - 0:03
    We're not to be passive.
  • 0:03 - 0:08
    Jesus says you are to cut your hand off.
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    Listen, it is by the Spirit that we
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    put to death the deeds of the body.
  • 0:12 - 0:13
    But you're not to be passive.
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    Jesus is saying you've got to do it.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    He's not saying God will do it for you.
  • 0:18 - 0:22
    He's not saying expect the
    church to do it for you.
  • 0:22 - 0:23
    You know what?
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    We have had people leave this church
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    who have gone out
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    either through discipline
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    or they've just packed up and left
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    and walked away immersed in sin
  • 0:36 - 0:42
    who have blamed the elders.
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    I have not been given the knife
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    to cut your hand off.
  • 0:48 - 0:49
    Yes, there's a place for teaching.
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    There's a place for counsel.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    You have that responsibility.
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    If you don't take your hand off,
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    it is not my fault.
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    It is not James' fault.
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    And it is not somebody else's fault
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    down the aisle from you.
  • 1:05 - 1:08
    You have a responsibility to amputate.
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    And if you don't, you go to hell.
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    That's what it says.
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    We have a personal responsibility here
  • 1:17 - 1:21
    not to be passive.
  • 1:21 - 1:25
    You must be proactive.
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    You must be intentional.
  • 1:28 - 1:33
    You must face your life with purpose.
  • 1:33 - 1:37
    You must attack with purpose.
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    You must be deliberate.
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    You must identify the
    causes of sin in your life,
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    and cut them off
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    and throw them away from you.
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    And God doesn't make deals.
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    I want to tell you this too.
  • 1:53 - 1:54
    God doesn't tell you that it's okay
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    to pluck out your right eye
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    when it's your right hand that offends.
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    You get what I'm saying here?
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    Have you ever noticed,
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    sometimes we have a tendency to do that?
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    We feel like in our conscience,
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    God is telling me that
    this thing over here
  • 2:07 - 2:08
    is what really needs to be cut off.
  • 2:08 - 2:12
    And we start cutting off over here.
  • 2:12 - 2:16
    You know what we're wanting to do?
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    Well, Lord, will this appease You?
  • 2:19 - 2:23
    He knows where our real idols are.
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    He knows the things that have roots
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    that go down deepest into our heart,
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    and He'll push that aside and say,
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    "I want that thing right there."
