Asceticism: The belief that self denial releases the soul from bondage to the body & brings us closer to the divine is NOT a Christian belief. We are saved fully from the bondage of sin by the work of Jesus on the cross & not by our actions regarding the self denial of the blessings of God's creation & design for us.

III. Close.
*Don't be surprised when people fall away. Some always have. Remember the source of temptation is the Evil one. They are dead to feelings & do not care for others. They substitute human action for the salvation offered by Christ & deny people the blessings of God. Smile, because the Lord loves you & has good gifts for His people!
