Sin is a serious problem that requires serious solutions in our lives. The story in Mark chapter 9 is one a lot of us know, regardless of if we grew up in church or not. But cutting off a limb just because we sinned isn't the point. Instead of taking this story literally, we need to examine our hearts, doing the hard work of cutting off things in a spiritual sense rather than getting out the machete. What do you need to cut out of your life in order to put Jesus at the center?
