A Clean Cut. Acts 19.
Sometimes as Christians we know we should stop some besetting sin, but we hang on to it even if ever so slightly. But in Acts chapter 19 verses 17- 20 we see people confronted with the seriousness of sin and the power of God. In fact they were all "seized with fear". Why? Because they had heard of the power in the name of Jesus. So much were they seized with fear they came and openly confessed their evil deeds, some even burning the scrolls they used in sorcery. Perhaps we need to be reminded not only of the power in the name of Jesus, but also in the seriousness of dabbling in our pet sins. God is not to be mocked. Give them up. Come to a realization that the name of Jesus is to be held in high honor.
