10 Principles

1. If God’s against it, so are we (Galatians 5:19-24).

2. Every sin has its origin in the heart (Jeremiah 17:9; Proverbs 4:23; Romans 13:14).

3. It is easier to keep the heart clean than after it has been defiled (Proverbs 22:3; 6:27-28).

4. It is not possible to fight a fleshly appetite by indulging in it (Ecclesiastes 5:10; James 1:14-15)

5. Small compromises lead to great disasters or little sins lead to big sins (Luke 16:10; Matthew 6:24; Romans 6:16).

6. Those who do not love the Lord will not help us serve the Lord (John 5:18-20; Proverbs 25:15).

7. Our sinful habits do hurt those who are following us (Romans 14:7; 1 Corinthians 10:23-24).

8. It is not possible to fight a fleshly temptation with fleshly weapons (2 Corinthians 10:3-5; 1 John 4:4).

9. We lose our freedom of choice after we have chosen our actions.  The consequences of our choices are inevitable, incalculable and up to God (Proverbs 5:22-23; 20:17; 9:17-18).

10. God balances guilt with blame. When we accept the blame for our actions, God, by our repentance and confession, will eliminate the guilt (1 John 1:9).
