“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I don’t know about you but something our family doesn’t leave home without is sanitizer!

We take it to the store, to church, to work, out to eat, you name it - we take it!

Today is episode 7 of “Sin Week,” and it’s the grand finale!

What better way to end this special
series than with what I am coining SIN-itizer, learning to overcome Sin with the Son! S O N - That of course being Jesus Christ Himself!

Something my Pastor says is this: When we learn to put God first in our lives, giving Him access to every room in our hearts, we will live more holy on accident than we ever could on purpose!

What does that equate to in everyday life?
 
It means spending our mornings with Jesus!

and not just our mornings, but inviting Him into every area - our homes, schools, businesses, churches, finances, vacations - everywhere we go!

Listen, I am a Christian first and foremost!

I am a Christ-follower before I am a husband, a dad, a church-goer, a business owner, or a podcast host!

We all wear so many different hats and play so many different roles throughout any given day, but if we are to remain SIN-itized in these last days, it is imperative that no matter where we go, what we find ourselves doing, or who we are hanging with, that we keep Jesus at the forefront of our every moment!!!

Why? 

Is it because God wants to control us? Is it out of some misplaced overly religious condemnation? Is it because God doesn’t want us to have fun?

An emphatic NO to all those things!

In truth, for me personally, it’s because I have come to realize that without Him, I can do nothing, but through Him, I can do all things!

I desire to be SIN-itized!

Sensitive to Him and His word and immune to the fiery darts of the enemy!

Listen, I have been kicked around enough during my life without Jesus and even well after because of the things I have allowed into my life.

The more I get to know the Lord, the closer I get to Him, the more I have come to realize my need for Him! every moment, every hour I need Him!

there are many who will say, “That Jesus stuff is just a crutch - I don’t need all that, I’m a self-made this or that,” 

but can I tell you something today, That’s a very dangerous place to be!

Now I’m not against being disciplined, exhibiting strong willpower, or showing initiative, but when our lives - our so-called successes are void of Jesus, they are nothing more than castles in the sand!

There is coming a time when we all will stand before the King of glory and He isn’t going to care about how much money we have in the bank, or how many good deeds we did!

He will wonder what we did with His free gift of salvation! What we did to serve others and reach them with the gospel!

Being SIN-itized isn’t about robbing us of fun, it’s about positioning us to give to others what we are freely given by the ONE who is worthy of the Highest Praise!!

Today, as we close out “Sin Week,” my challenge to you and me is this: 

Learn to be intimate with Jesus! Love Him with all your heart, mind, and strength!

Listen, sin is fun for a season, but afterward there is Hell to pay!

Don’t allow sin to mold you and shape you, it makes for a very poor and abusive master! 

The Good News is this: 

We can start right now sowing good seeds, making the right choices, and it starts by getting SIN-itized, overcoming Sin with the
