Anything that is contrary to the will and character of God is sin. And I don’t care what it is. It could be even going to church. I think some people, just to please God, go into church. And imagine a little man down here says to God, “I won’t do it. I’m going to do it my way.” And that’s what little man is saying today. “We want liberty; we want freedom. We’re going to do it our way.” My friend, you’re not going to do it your way, because God’s will will finally prevail. The prayer should be for all of God’s people—"Thy will may be done on earth as it is in heaven.” God’s will is going to ultimately prevail. Now anything contrary to His will is sin, and it doesn’t make any difference what that is.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
