Living Clean in an Unclean World 3 03

Dr. Alan Cairns delivers the third message in his series 'Living Clean in an Unclean World,' focusing on Psalm 119:11: 'Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee.' Drawing from Thomas Brooks' concept of 'a sure remedy against Satan's devices,' Cairns emphasizes the psalmist's deep spiritual perception of danger—both external and internal—and his noble purpose to live a holy life. He warns that Satan's chief strategy includes leading believers into evil company, citing Proverbs 1:10-14 and the psalmist's prayer, 'Gather not my soul with sinners.' Cairns illustrates this with vivid personal anecdotes from his early career, where he witnessed hypocrisy and moral compromise in the workplace, showing how even professing Christians can be corrupted by peer pressure and worldly influence. He underscores the critical importance of family worship and daily Bible reading as foundational defenses against spiritual decay, urging listeners to build their lives on Christ alone, the only secure foundation amid life's uncertainties. The message calls for intentional separation from sin and a daily commitment to Scripture as the antidote to spiritual compromise.
