Pluck it out!!!

Matthew 18:9
And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.
How many times do our eyes look on the things they shouldn't, or our hands touch things they shouldn't? So do you believe that Jesus means what He says? If we were to take his words literally then the church would be full of blind, mutilated people. Yet we say we believe, we confess, profess, jump and shout. We stay attached to our eyes, while those same eyes look on things they shouldn't. Perhaps it's not entirely necessary to go to those extremes. But I will make a few suggestions. If your laptop causes you to look at things you shouldn't, throw it out the window, or if HBO makes you stumble then have it shut off. How about those friends that lead you into sin, get rid of them... I mean the list could go on and on and on and on... So maybe we wouldn't have to pluck out our eyes or cut off our hands if we just cut off the stuff we should not be attached to...
Just think about it...

Love ya,
