Genesis 3:5 (NKJV) 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When Eve ate the forbidden fruit, that\u2019s when sin took hold and death set in. Wow, just by one person.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0like Eve\u00a0needed someone to say, “NOOOOOO”!<\/p>\n

She needed someone to be strong and get in her face and say, \u201cstop, don\u2019t do it”. Someone to say, “it\u2019s not worth it”.<\/p>\n

She needed a good friend. A friend that wouldn\u2019t care if she got mad or offended, who would just tell her the truth about what she was about to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Spiritual death is terrible. It is a loss, no matter how we look at it. And we\u00a0should<\/em>\u00a0take a good look at it.<\/p>\n

As God\u2019s children, we have a choice. And that choice we make is so important.<\/p>\n

Spiritual death comes from one word; disobedience.<\/p>\n

We can get involved with the wrong things and bring spiritual death to our walk with God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What are we, the church, doing today that may be causing spiritual death?<\/p>\n

Are we disobedient? Is our disobedience leading to\u00a0sin?<\/p>\n

Are we just going with the flow and not speaking up when we know we should?<\/p>\n

If that’s the case, then we are just as much at fault for going\u00a0along with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Don\u2019t\u00a0get us wrong. There are some\u00a0great things\u00a0that are going on today in churches.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0if we want to go further,\u00a0we must stop and get a handle on some things.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t\u00a0be adding to or\u00a0taking away from God\u2019s word. That is just like Eve taking a bite of the forbidden fruit, once\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0bitten into, death and destruction follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Deuteronomy 12:32 (NKJV) 32 \u201cWhatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Don\u2019t\u00a0let pretty words and fancy entertainment pull us away from the truth. The enemy is deceitful\u00a0and cunning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We need to surround ourselves with people who will not lie to us, but speak truth when we need to hear it.\u00a0They need to be willing to speak truth to us even if we might get mad or get our feelings hurt.<\/p>\n

We need those people that are grounded in God\u2019s word to say, “NO! It\u2019s not worth it. No, you are about to make a bad move. No, it might look good, but deep down it\u2019s not and if you mess with it, it will be sure to bring spiritual death to you”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The enemy is subtle and sly, and will deceive us with words\u00a0 and actions that will get to us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Genesis 3:1 (NKJV) 1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, \u201cHas God indeed said, \u2018You shall not eat of every tree of the garden\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Right here is where she needed someone to step in and tell her, “he\u2019s\u00a0a liar!”.<\/p>\n

It was obvious that he had her. She was drawn in by his cunning ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Where are those who will take a stand and not back down, no matter how hard it will get, no matter the persecution that may come for standing up? Where are those who will say, \u201cno, don\u2019t bite it!\u201d?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
