3. 1 John 2 15 Love not the world, neither the things
that are in the world. If any man love the
world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For
all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the
world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he
that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Three categories of sin.

4. We left off last time I preached on Sunday night
discussing the third type -- Pride of life.
This sin produces a lot of side effects.

5. Small person trying to look big.

6. Confess your sin as sin.
Until you do, you will excuse it.
But I'm not the problem; she is.
Wrong!
Don't look at your mate; look at yourself.
Don’t look at your friends; look at yourself.

7. From self-indulgence to
generosity of spirit
From ME to thee

8. Strong enough to be gentle
Caring more for his family
than for himself.
Gladly fulfilling his responsibility.
The spiritual leader in his home
Too many men want to be boss, but don’t
want to lead in the right direction.

9. Loving and Submissive spirits
Keeping their homes well
Helps to their husbands
Training their children.
Content and at peace within

10. Genesis 2:18 And the Lord God said, It
is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an help meet for him.
“I try to help my husband.”
Have you ever really discussed with him
HOW you could best be his help?
Men -- have you ever thought about it
and told your wife how she could best
be your help?
10

11. Help doesn’t mean take
responsibility.
Earning the living is the man’s responsibility.
His wife can help.
But if she is working on your responsibility,
You will have to work on hers.
If you don’t want to keep house, don’t expect
your wife to earn half the living.

12. 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of
the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Sin is to blame, Sin is to blame.
Have you no hope for tomorrow,
Sin is to blame for it all.

13. I must acknowledge my sin,
Repent of my sin,
Turn from my wicked ways,
Unto the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
