There's a group of people out there in churches that will try to teach you that once you get saved
Batteries come included. You should sin no more
No more sin no more this and if you sin, you're not even saved. That's false folks
The Bible says that for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There's none that doeth good
No, not one the Bible says there's not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sin is not
So, you know you must be calling God a liar if you put that in the Bible to say
There's not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sin is not
Okay, and so what I'm not saying is this is that once you cut off the unbiblical cord, you're just good to go
No, because this is this is also a process in life right the process of sanctification
Getting right with God cleaning up your life doing that which is pleasing unto the Lord now go to Judges chapter 16
If you would judges chapter 16, I'm gonna give you an example of this
Title is cutting the unbiblical
Cord hey if you're saved now that you're saved now that you're in church now that you know the truth now
It's time to clean up your life
Now it's time to put off the fornication
Right. What is fornication having physical relations with the opposite sex before marriage
That's fornication. And you know what? It's a grievous sin
It's a wicked sin that God does not approve of and in fact
The Bible specifically says that if an if an individual is involved in fornication in the local church
They cannot be in that local church
So the Bible says according to 1st Corinthians 5 people who commit fornication are to be
Excommunicated from the church to put away the leaven from among them less
They you know, the church becomes a cesspool of sin, you know, hey if you were involved in weed
You do a little recreational
Drugs local church if you're involved in those things and look even if you weren't in church
You should quit doing that stupid nonsense. Why because I'm sure everyone here doesn't want to be a stupid person
You know what alcohol does to you? It makes you stupid. Yeah, I said it makes you an idiot
It makes you stupid smoking weed makes you stupid doing drugs makes you stupid doing true grievous
Therefore our benefit God's not saying don't drink cuz he doesn't want you to have any fun
There's no fun waking up on Sunday morning with the hangover throwing up
Wondering what you did the you know, the previous night cuz you don't even remember cuz you blacked out. That's not fun
Samson of course Samson was one of the strongest men in the Bible and
We obviously understand later on he gets you know, he is
Deceived by Delilah and he ends up getting his eyes plucked out and if he ended his life really bad
Okay, got his eyes gouged out was made fun of ultimately committed suicide and it was really bad for him
But he was one of the strongest men in the Bible
It's not because he had muscles or because he was able to deadlift a whole lot
It's because he was filled with the spirit and that spirit when they would come upon him would give him this
Supernatural strength to do these these amazing tasks and he was able to accomplish much even in his lifetime
But we see that he meets a woman by the name of Delilah and
Delilah is trying to wrap him with cords and trying to you know
Get him killed and he breaks through the cords and you know
we see that done a couple times and sometimes when I read the story of Samson, I'm like
You're an idiot man like you
After the third or fourth time of her trying to figure out where my strength lies
It's like I don't think you really love me
You're trying to kill me
But any parent knows when their teenager falls in love it's over
