Summer Sins Do You Worship the Sun or the Son?

Summer Time This time of the year brings three things: hot weather, vacation time, spare time This time of the year can also promote three sins: immodest dress, Godless vacations, idleness As a Christian, will you be a sun worshipper or a Son worshipper? Will you have fun in the sun, or faith in the Son (Gal. 2:20) God made the sun (Gen. 1:14-19) and summertime (Gen. 8:22), but the Devil tempts us to misuse them

Summer Time: How Will I Dress? A Christian must still dress modestly even though it is hot outside (1 Tim. 2:9-10; 1 Pet. 3:3-4) Thought questions: Glorifying God (Mt. 5:16)? Providing for the flesh (Rom. 13:14)? Thinking pure thoughts (Phil. 4:8)? Fleeing lusts (2 Tim. 2:22)? Imitating evil (3 Jn. 11)? Luring others (Prov. 7:10)? Answering objections: Everyone wears it (Rom. 12:1); I can’t control others (Mt. 5:28; 18:6-7); They are just kids (Eph. 6:4); I wear it for comfort (Mt. 16:26)

Summer Time: Where Will I Go? Vacation time is good (Mk. 6:30-32), but some Christians take a vacation from God Some will not assemble with faithful brethren while on vacation (Acts 20:7; Heb. 10:25) Some will not contribute (Mal. 3:8-10) Do you stop making these payments in the summer: mortgage, car, insurance, utilities?

Summer Time: What Will I Do? Some spend their summer time in idleness (2 Thess. 3:11; 1 Tim. 5:13; 1 Pet. 4:15) “Busybody” comes from periergazomai meaning to “work around in other people’s matters”; “Meddler” comes from allotrioepiskopos meaning “to oversee another’s business” Christians need to spend their time wisely (Eph. 5:15-16)

Summer Sins Christianity is not seasonal Summer has been called the “next-to-nothing- season… – Wear next-to-nothing (immodest apparel) – Give next-to-nothing (Godless vacations) – Do next-to-nothing (idleness, laziness)

Summer Sins Christianity does not change based upon location (alcohol in the north, gambling in the west, tobacco in the east, immodesty in the south) Christianity is daily serving the Lord (Lk. 9:23) Christian, be careful how you dress, be careful where you go, be care what you do (Heb. 11:25) God remains faithful to us during the summer, let’s remain faithful to him at the same time (2 Tim. 2:13)
