Ordinary folks telling the Extraordinary story of Jesus with Extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 12:15 (KJV) Looking diligently(not carelessly) lest any man fail of the grace of God;
Who wants to fail? We all have failures in our lives we are not proud of. The writer of the book of Hebrews is saying “don’t be careless, don’t think you are any different and for sure don’t get to thinking that God understands why and will make an exception for you.” Then he wrote about two things. #1- Fornication a sexual sin
#2- Then an example about earthly things, selling out for earthly things.
Hebrews 12:16 (KJV) Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. Remember the enemy is crafty and he wants you and I to be failures. Sex is a big business. According to earthweb.com The porn industry is worth approximately $97 billion. With $10 to $12 billion coming from the United States. But that’s not all, you and I see, hear or are a part of, sexual misconduct. From movies, TV programs and talking with others. This may put thoughts in our mind that we are being somehow cheated sexually so we look outside the marriage bed for greener pastures and pleasures. In the process we lose our families and the greener pasture turns brown. The enemy wins broken homes are easier to conquer, so the root goes on defiling others. Then there is Esau who sold out for a meal. What are we willing to sell out for? Whatever it is, it is way too cheap. For here it’s only a morsel (one morsel of meat). Are you willing to sell out for a double cheeseburger?
