For Those Who Are Avoiding, Running and Dabbling: Your Sin Is Fun, But It Will Never Be Enough

And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked?
1 Peter 4:18

If you are avoiding or running from the Lord because you don’t want to let go of things, you don’t want to give up your sins- can I advise you that the ways of the world will never fulfill you- they will never complete you.  Alcohol numbs, drugs mask, gambling steals and sin can be fun but it will never be enough.
Sin will always leave a void.
Sin will always leave you craving more.
Sin will rob you of the chance to have complete happiness.

If you believe in Jesus but are still dabbling in the things of the world can I ask you why you are putting your eternity on the line? What is keeping you from surrendering it all to Him that promises and promotes those who call Him father? Why risk an eternity of joy, abundance of happiness and a peaceful heart for a temporary break from reality?
False balance and unrighteous dealings are extremely offensive and shamefully sinful to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.
Proverbs 11:1
Ask yourself what the true expense is of flirting with your preferred sin; what is it worth to you and how does that compare to the ultimate choice of eternity?
Don’t spend one more day dabbling, running or avoiding the Lord.
Sell out completely to Jesus. If you need deliverance pray to Him, find a church, find someone to pray with, pray for deliverance and healing and surround yourself with good people who will encourage you.
When you stop running and stop dabbling the Lord can accomplish so much more for you! I promise if you truly surrender to the Lord you will never look back.

His love will be more than enough to fill that hole the world has left in you.


You are fearfully and wonderfully made
(Psalm 139:14)
