January 11, 2025 – Threads of Sin Develop into Chains of Bondage
Proverbs 5:21-23
Sermon: 1676 Winning the Battle for the Home, Part 2

Pray Over This

“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He ponders all his paths. His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, and he is caught in the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction, and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.”
Proverbs 5:21-23

Ponder This

What are the consequences of immorality? Why does God say it is folly? Because God knows sin is costly. Sin does not pay. We look at sin for what we can get if we do it, but God sees it and knows the cost. A man I knew had one of the most beautiful homes in this city and one of the finest families. He professed to be a Christian but started to become close to a coworker. Before long those threads of flirtation were woven into a cord and then into chain of bondage. I did all that I could do, but I could not stop this man.

Today, that man has lost his business. Today, that man has lost his family. Today, that man has lost his home. Today, that man has lost his reputation. He has lost his children. Sin only tells you what you will gain. When we come to God, when we look at His Word and listen to His wisdom, He reveals what sin costs.

• How have you seen the cost of sin in your life?
• How does following God’s Word and ways help us see this cost in advance?

Practice This

Confess and repent specific areas of sin to God.
