Let's get straight to the point, sin can take us to places we never thought we would go, but the good news tells us we don't have to keep living in sin! We can believe that what God says is true, repent and invite Jesus into our lives and learn to live for the living God. The devil "comes only to kill, steal and destroy” our lives! We have a choice to walk away from sin/darkness and come into truth/light both through Jesus Christ.

BACKBITERS
A person who talks badly about another person when their backs are turned.​​​​
Did you know this was a sin? It's a hurtful thing to learn someone is saying slanderous things about you. When they see you they smile in your face, hug you, and even kiss you as if they never said a word, but when your back was turned every word was to beat you down.
COVETOUSNESS
A person who wants what others have.​
This person sees what you have, family, job, car, house, skills etc. and their desire is to have what you have. Their hearts are consumed with wanting what others have, this is a problem because when a person is so focused on what others have, they’re never grateful for what’s in front of them. A covetousness person will do whatever it takes to have what they think they want.
DISOBEDIENT to PARENTS
A person who is refusing to obey the parents or person who has the responsibility of caring for a child/children. This child/ teenager refuses to listen to righteous teaching. We say righteous because not every child care giver is teaching the right ways of life.
BOASTER
A person who loves to brag about self and show off their accomplishments ​.
Nothing is wrong with knowing who you are, whose you are, and what your talents and gifts are. The problem kicks in when we think we've done everything thing alone. Thinking you’re the reason for this, and the reason for that. Your whole speech is about you, you, you and you again! You get the point! Never willing to say “God, did this in my life,” and brag on what He has done for you.

​We've ALL done something wrong! OR you're doing something wrong! Guess what? You're not alone; we all need God's forgiveness. We also must forgive others, and it's harder for us to forgive- how do you forgive people after they have hurt you, wanted to destroyed you, misused or abused you?​​
Did you know if you can't forgive others, then God will not forgive you! God will help you move into forgiveness if you will give Him that pain. Also, take a look at yourself someone needed to forgive you or will need to forgive you.
Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
​​
UNMERCIFUL
​​A person who dosen't care about another's suffering.
Let's say a boss knows his employee has a sick wife, and the husband is taking care of his family and comes to work late three days a week. The boss knows why he's late and fires him anyway. He fires him knowing his family won't have any health insurance, and his wife is sick. Sure the employee knows he shouldn't be late, but this is a moment that the employee needs his boss to show mercy.
An unmerciful person will never show mercy to a person who is in the wrong, but they have the choice on how to handle the situation.
