Today’s Thought “Chainsaw Massacre” G. Ward

Matthew 5

³⁰ And if your right hand is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.

Because each of us are reminiscent of desire unbecoming of our Lord’s holiness, HE compels our being new in HIM (and that development is HIS to orchestrate) and whereas this transformation granted won’t witness the kind of graduation ceremony whereby a student then endeavors career objectives to never return to the enabling institution, the believer remains the student; doing so, because of an continual, unfortunate regard in selfish plights opposite of newest spiritual desire (Ro.7:21-25).

Our theme on today won’t condone self-mutilation, because this is more an issue of heart; but a holy, heavenly insight of the seriousness of sin and its potential unto habit, whereby the same heart overrules best personal judgment and whatever it takes to obliterate the train wreck ahead, should include turning around (Acts 3:19).
