Matt 24:12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.Many Christians are hiding in fear of the world
2 TIM 2
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.He will keep you. God wants us to depart from Iniquity. In dealing with sin, run from it then think instead of thinking about it and then run.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.Involvement with sin is immaturity (youthful lust). What type of companions do you have? With them that call on the Lord? Surround yourself with Christian friends.
1 Tim 3
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1) Be a one woman man, the same for wife.
2) Deliverance: how to get it
3) Admit it was your fault. You have control over you, not eve god can control you unless you let him.
4) Admit it is a sin. It is not a problem or a mistake.
5) Confession and repentance; to God, spouse, and ones you hurt. Time involved in healing of spouse may be longer than you
6) Remove self from sin source
7) Get involved in church, god, etc.. Get involved in prayer, and with mate.
Sin in ministry
2 Tim 4
10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world,
Your sin will find you out. There is a difference between fruit of ministry and fruit of character. Character will eventually catch up with you. Tree is known by fruit (character). Sin is self centered.
James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
