Dealing with Difficulty (Part 4) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

1 Timothy 1:5- Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: In the fourth part of this message, we examine Bible principles about purity. If we are to have a clean heart, then we need to put these principles into practice. We examine eight important principles. We also examine the importance of having a clear conscience with God and with men. If you are to have the right kind of relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, if you are to develop a selfless love for Him and others, then it is imperative that you have a clear conscience with the Lord and with men. This matter is so important that Paul made it an important priority in his own personal life. * Acts 24:16-And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. When Adoniram Judson made preparations to go to Burma, God spoke to his heart about people that he had wronged before he was saved. During his years when he lived in New York City and was indulging in the sinful lifestyle of this world, he had cheated several men out of their money. Adoniram realized that God would not bless his ministry until he cleared his conscience with these men and made restitution. Judson made a trip to New York and sought out the people that he had wronged and asked for their forgiveness. He returned the money that he had wrongfully taken from them and returned home with a new peace and joy in his heart, and greater boldness in his speaking. A huge boulder had been lifted from his heart. Beloved, if you have an opportunity for penitence in making matters right with God or others, then don't throw it away. Get your life right with the Lord first. This 32-minute message was preached on Sunday night, October 30,2022, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
