Give Up Get More: Week 6

March 28, 2021

Ever hear of a “glutton for punishment”? You don’t want to add that title to your resume! In fact, if we want to get more in life, giving up excess is a good move to make. Adding moderation--or restraint--to our choices will save us from many regrets.

Which of the Seven Deadly Sins is your favorite? If you had to give them all up except one, which one would you hold onto? That was a trick question, for if you give up sins you don’t lose, but you get more! Christ crosses out our sins and adds His goodness to our lives and we are forever better for it! 📖 Matthew 16:24-26 | http://bit.ly/37uf02x 🤗 Connect Card | http://nblc.net/connect 💚 Giving is Loving | http://nblc.net/give

Give Up Get More: Week 1

What’re you giving up for Lent? That familiar question assumes subtraction leads to devotion. Jesus promises addition. When we give up sin—which we are often reluctant to do—we actually gain from the so-called loss. For example, when we give up greed, we can gain charity in exchange. It is more blessed to give! 📖 Matthew 6:19-24 | http://bit.ly/2zptfl4 🤗 Connect Card | http://nblc.net/connect 💚 Giving is Loving | http://nblc.net/give

Seven Deadly Sins—now those are worth giving up for Lent! In fact, when we surrender a sin we gain much more than we give up. Take Lust, for example. We think what we lust for will give us more, but it leaves us with less. When we give it up, we get more: purity! 📖 Matthew 5:27-30 | http://bit.ly/2oyz5b6 🤗 Connect Card | http://nblc.net/connect 💚 Giving is Loving | http://nblc.net/give
