Q

What do we need to help counselees trapped in life-dominating sin understand?

A

Part of the problem with life-dominating sin is that the counselee fears that their life will be over if they had to give up their sin. They can’t see a life outside of their sin.

We need to help them understand that by giving it up they will be able to live much better than before

Q

What do we need help counselees put off and on in regards to life-dominating sins?

Q

What are the 13 Consequences of life dominating sin?

A
  1. We are held accountable to God for all our wants, thoughts, speech and behavior. Genetic predispositions, personalities or “addictions” do not remove us from
    responsibility.
  2. We become a slave to whatever controls us (Rom 6:16-18).
  3. Life-dominating sins affect every area of our life.
  4. We will doubt our salvation (1 Cor 6:9-10; 1 Pet 1:7; 2 Pet 1:10-11).
  5. God does not assure us that He will hear or answer our prayers (Ps 66:18; Prov
    15: 29, 28:9; 1 Pet 3:12).
  6. We will bear spiritual as well as physical consequences (Ps 32:3-5, 38:1-10, 51:3; 1
    Cor 5:3-5, 11:28-30; Col 3:25; Heb 12:5-11).
  7. We will lose the joy of our salvation (Ps 51:8-12; 1 John 1:4).
  8. We will become increasingly more miserable, and life will become moredifficult
    (Prov 1:24-32; 13:15, 21a; 28:13-14).
  9. We place our self under the corrective discipline of the Lord (Heb 12:5-11), and
    the sternness of the discipline to restore us to the Lord and others will increase
    (Matt 18:15-20).
  10. We, through our own deeds, will hinder all true fellowship with those in the body of
    Christ (1 Cor 5:9-11; 2 Thess 3:11-15).
11. We remain in spiritual delusion because we are merely a hearer of the Word and not
a doer (James 1:22-24), and we cannot discern clearly between good and evil (Heb
5:14).
  1. We become false witnesses for Christ and the gospel (Rom 6:19; Eph 4:22; 1Cor
    9: 27).
  2. We may realize we are not a child of God
21

Q

Explain rise

A

Psalm 10:3-4

(cut of your hand, pluck out your eye)

Life dominating sin, requires drastic measures, to not just stop the sin, but the reduce and eliminate those things in our lives that allow us to sin. In addition to personal changes, this may require making social and structural changes.

If one is an alcoholic, it may be necessary to break off friendships, and to form new Godly relationships, in addition to removing alcohol from the house, changing driving routes to avoid bottle stores and bars, etc.

One method is RISE

  1. Reduce
  2. Increase
  3. Substitute
  4. Eliminate
23

Romans 13:14

“But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires”

Don’t be naive, like the alcoholic who thinks that he can still go out with his regular friends on the weekend and not drink.

Don’t just stay away from the sin, be watchful for and stay away from the opportunity to sin.
