Sin is anger that has now gone out of control.

Dr. Tony Evans warns that unchecked emotions are never neutral,

and the enemy is always ready to exploit them.

Whenever he sees that your emotions have the potential to lose control,

Paul says that becomes the devil's opportunity to inflame them into something

bigger. This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the

archives of Dr. Tony Evans. Most of us can absorb a fair amount of hurt aimed at ourselves.

But when our children are affected, our perspective shifts.

Today, Dr. Evans helps us see why God feels the same protective concern for his family, the church,

and how that truth should shape the way we live and serve together.

Let's join him as he begins. When you and I were saved,

God placed us spiritually in a new environment. It was like moving your home from Las Vegas to Jerusalem.

It's a totally new environment. Paul in Ephesians chapter four says in verse 22, in reference to your

former manner of life, lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with

the lust of deceit, that you may be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on your new self, which is in the

likeness of God and has been raised in righteousness and holiness of the truth. He says the first

thing you're going to have to do is change clothes. He says, take off your old clothes. They do not fit with your new cleansing.

Don't go back to the worldview you had before Christ.

Because if you go back there, you are counteracting the cleansing that has taken place by the blood.

He says, you ought to put on a new way of thinking.

By the renewing of the mind, what are the old clothes?

It's the old way of thinking.
