Is A “Little” Sinning All Right? – Bible study

An MTV commentator was once reported as saying, A little lust, pride, sloth, and gluttonyin moderationare fun, and thats what keeps your heart beating (source).

Is there really such a thing as gluttony in moderation? How in the world can we practice excess in moderation? Although moderation is a virtue (Philippians 4:5 KJV), it can never apply to an action that is immoral.

While there is nothing wrong with eating some lite treats every once in a while, there is no such thing as light lust or low-calorie greed.

Folks, lust, greed, lying, stealing, drinking alcoholic beverages, or engaging in any other kind of sin in any amount, is always wrong.

Christians who are serious about pleasing the Lord will continually examine and judge their inner thoughts and motives by Gods standard (2 Corinthians 13:5).

Theyll confess and repent of any sin in their lives (1 John 1:9), and theyll work at disciplining their thoughts and actions (2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 Corinthians 9:27).

Let us thoroughly enjoy a few lite desserts. But lets never fall for the idea that a little sinning is all right if done in moderation.
