Story of the fight I saw on Grace's face on Thursday..

How to Fight to the glory of God

The one who tempts is in league with Satan in that moment. They are doing the enemies work.

Dealing with my sin:

1 Do not Give in to temptation

2 Do not tempt others to sin

-Goading them into sin, antagonizing them to justify my own sin is evil

3 Do repent and seek forgiveness when I break 1 and 2

-community guarantees a fight, guarantees conflict.

Temptation will come and will be constant, It is inside as well as outside, my flesh wages war with me.

Repentance from PM and G's book on marriage

Rep is not getting caught it's coming clean

Rep is not denying my sin

Rep is not diminishing my sin, not telling all my sin

Rep is not managing my sin

Rep is not blamshifting, passing my guilt on someone else

Rep is not excusing my sin

Rep is not about someone else's sin

Rep is not saying some words to get something or get something back, my spouse, my job, my money

Rep is not wordly sorrow, I must grieve my sin itself

Rep is not merely grieving my sin's consequence

Rep is killing my sin

Dealing with other's sin against me

1 Do rebuke them, in private, face to face

2 Do forgive them, over and over and over (7 times a day)

3 Do keep forgiving them and rebuke them
