In We stumble and He sets us free, Rick looks at Mark 9: 38-50.
Rick talks about how Jesus wants us to have wide hearts toward others – welcoming even those outside our immediate group – but narrow tolerance for personal sin. Jesus rebukes exclusivity among His disciples and warns about causing others, particularly the spiritually young, to stumble in faith.
As Rick points out, using an illustration of his former gaming addiction, seemingly small, private indulgences can gradually become spiritually consuming. We need to keep looking at ourselves and be honest about what might be subtly dominating our lives.
Rick urges us to:
1. Use the Bible as a moral compass. 2. Remove the opportunity for sin by cutting off its roots. 3. Know your identity as a child of God, which empowers freedom. 4. Depend on God’s compassion and the freedom Jesus offers.
