Three weeks ago we started a study on anxiety. If you missed the previous ones, I'll leave links at the bottom. As I said, since worry and anxiety are such common problems, I wanted to share with you all some of the truths I talk about in counseling. Many of the same principles apply whether you have experienced milder versions of worry or full-blown panic attacks. So prayerfully, you will find some truths that will be helpful to you or someone you know. In week one, we looked at a biblical definition for worry and anxiety. In week two, we talked about what Jesus had to say about worry in Matthew 6. That is the first of two very important passages on the subject. And last week, we looked at the second of those two passages. Today we're going to talk about fear versus love.
Isaac’s twins, Jacob and Esau, grew up to be two very different men. Esau was a hunter and a man's man. Jacob, it seems, was a mama's boy and a homebody. Each of their parents favored one son over the other. Their favoritism would lead to serious issues in the family. But Esau had bigger problems. With complete disregard for the blessings of God, he would give away his birthright for some instant gratification. How can we be sure we never do the same thing?
While adultery is not the unforgivable sin, the effects of adultery are devastating. Whether someone is the perpetrator or the victim, lives are turned upside-down. Maybe it’s happened to you. If you're the one who was sinned against, you know those things to be true. But what if you're the one who committed adultery? Or what if you're struggling with the temptation now?
