Symptoms Of Spiritual Problems Filling Our Minds With The Wrong Things Philippians 4:8 Cont: Matthew 15:18-20 Ex: Amnon and Tamar (II Sam. 13:1-2, 4-14) Job 31:1; Matthew 5:28 What is going into our minds??

Symptoms Of Spiritual Problems Playing On The Fringe Of Sin God has drawn the line between truth and error!  I Thessalonians 5:21-22 Abstain: “to hold oneself from” (Vine’s, p. 6). Appearance: “every kind of evil or wrong” (Thayer’s, p. 172).

Symptoms Of Spiritual Problems Playing On The Fringe Of Sin Proverbs 6:27-28 “It doesn’t bother me! … I’m mature... I’m an adult!” Does this sound like something one might say who was following Philippians 4:8?

Symptoms Of Spiritual Problems Getting Mad At The Preacher Do you think everything said in the pulpit is aimed at you?? Examples of first century preaching: Jesus (Matt. 16:6-12, ch. 23); Peter (Acts 2:22-24, 36, 3:19-26, 8:20-23); Paul (Acts 9:20-22, 13:16-41, 46-47, ch. 17); Stephen (Acts 7)
