"And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell."--Mark 9:47
Guess what people? The eye here? It represents more than just your physical body parts. If watching bad movies influences you to cuss then pluck bad movies out of your life! If sports cause you to get angry, then pluck sports out of your life! If poor drivers cutting you off in traffic causes you to curse at them or insult them, then stop driving and take the bus! If your friends or people in your life influence you to drink, smoke, sleep around, do drugs, skip church, et Cetera, then pluck those friends out of your life!
Sin is separation from God, for God is perfect and cannot dwell where there is sin. There is NOTHING in life that is worth separation from God, NOTHING. Remove whatever it takes, sacrifice whatever it takes, do whatever it takes, and God will reward you beyond anything you can possibly imagine!
