We can effectively teach ONLY those les sons we have ourselves learned! You will NOT grow or prove yourself as long as you con tinue to allow active sin in your life. God so intensely desired us to be cleansed from SIN that He gave His very own life to provide for our purification. WE must also so in tensely desire to be free from sin that we are willing to lay down ANYTHING, no matter how painful it may be, to put sin out of our lives! O.K., so we know we must stop sinning.
