Died to Sin?

Me: This morning I asked God: Is it even possible we, who live in this sinful and fallen world, completely die to sin?

God's words:
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

Me: Lord, lead me on so it's not ME who walks but yours with me.

This Jesus Whom You Crucified

"This Jesus whom you crucified, God has made Him both Lord and Christ of all. Don't think I will even ask you to make Jesus Lord of your life. That's the most preposterous thing I can ever tell you to do. Jesus Christ is Lord of your life. Whether you serve him or not; whether you bless him, curse him, hate him, or love him. He is the Lord of your life....

....Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved....."

Render to Cesar

......"We render unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, we render unto God the things that are God's, but we WILL NOT render unto Cesar the things that are God's. Now let me say something about the political situation we're in right now. We as believer's in Christ need not identify the Church with any political party, but always with the Kingdom of God. We need to be able to tell both parties to repent and get right with God. The Church is not the servant of the State, the Church is not the master of the State, the Church is the conscience of the State. We will be civil, but we will not be silent. Nathan warned David, Elijah preached to Ahab, Daniel remonstrated with Nebuchadnezzar, Eliezer looked Jehoshaphat in the face and told him he was wrong, Moses was a prophet of God to Pharaoh. A...s long as we have a government that is trying to normalize sodomy, I cannot be quiet. As long as they are distributing condoms to children in school and normalize illicit sex we dare not be quiet. As long as a free born American is told he cannot pray vocally anywhere anytime, we cannot be silent. Nothing is politically right that is morally wrong. But if you think that an election is going to help us, let me tell you something folks....government cannot make us good, only God can make us good. Government is here to restrain evil and God's plan is a free Church in a free State, and when the Government does what it alone can do, that is, restrain evil, the Church is free to do what she alone can do and that is to preach the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are problems with submission, but we need to understand that we must obey God".......
