The Chastening of the Lord Part 2
Playback speed
There’s considerable misunderstanding about what it means when God chastens us. He does this as a loving Father to correct and guide us, not to punish us. His chastening helps direct us toward righteousness, godliness, and complete dependence on Him. We’re guaranteed to encounter adversity and painful circumstances in life; God uses those things not because He’s angry with us, but to grow and mature us.

The War Against Habits and Addictions
Christians live in a culture diametrically opposed to the way God designed them. We’re spirit beings living in a carnal external environment filled with ungodly influences constantly pulling at us. These influences suggest that giving in to cravings and addictions—not the presence of God—will make us happy. This world isn’t our final destination; we’re therefore warned against the spiritual dangers of indulging ourselves in any pleasure that’s harmful to our souls.
