Recap

    in Scripture
  • If a slave owner knocks out the eye of a slave
    the slave is set free
  • Eyes mock a father (Proverbs 3017)

  • If you eye CAUSES YOU TO SIN (Mt. 529)

Recap
  • Our eyes are a very powerful part of how we
    experience the world
  • We cannot afford to ignore how we can be impacted
    through our eyes and what they see
  • We cannot ignore how our actions affect others

Recap
  • Three Big Eye Problems
  • Sexual Lust (Matthew 527-28)
  • Coveting Possessions (Ecc. 48)
  • Lack of Concern Regarding Our Impact on Others (1

  • What We Do
  • How we Live

Key Adjustments for the Eyes
  • We do not need a list of rules

    approach provide the answer
  • We must submit to the Word ourselves

Key Adjustments for the Eyes
  • The Two Big Adjustments
  • Commit to Kingdom Values
