How does God respond to our sin? Wrath? Anger? Apathy? Or is it a mix of love and correction?

Your ability to fight sin hinges on one thing. Your faith. Choosing obedience over sin is an act of faith, this is why it’s an important weapon in the lure of temptation.

While the Bible tells us to flee sexual immorality, it also talks about taking the sword of the Spirit. How does this help us in fighting lustful temptations?

We have this false notion that the more time we get between our current location and the last 'big sin', the purer we are in God's eyes. But is this biblical?

Our hearts are daily idol factories, grafting our affections onto created things that were never meant to hold our allegiances and affections. Idols promise us life, pleasure, and satisfaction, but in the end, only deliver death.

The question is- How do we lay these sinful desires down?

We all bring objections to God’s love for us. The question is, what does God do with our objections?

Perhaps you do not doubt that God forgives and still loves you when you sin. But have you bought into a more subtle theological error? The idea that when you sin, when you fall, when you are at your weakest, you receive a “lesser measure” of grace, than you do when you are faithful and strong?

Perhaps one of the reasons some of us struggle so deeply to grasp the grace of God is because we are not comfortable receiving.

You have not out sinned His love. The Lord loves us where we are, but He also loves us too much to keep us there.

Sin thrives in darkness. Sin shrivels in the light.

There are Christian words that we hear often. If we are honest, though, we don’t really know their meaning, at least in full. If we slow down we may find that understanding the depth of simple words can be very impactful on our Christian life.

There are far more women out there who have sexual sin scars than people realize. We don’t tell anybody because we think it will cause people to see us differently. How should we think about these scars?

I can truly say, every time I’ve chosen obedience, God has met me with more joy than I have ever found in sinful ways. It’s not been easy, but it is worth it. Because in my imperfect obedience I get more of God.

It takes God no more power to save Kanye West than it does to save me and you. The moment we think we were easier to save, we have become disillusioned to our own sinfulness. Kanye is the lost sheep Jesus left the 99 for, and so are you.

If I fall again, will He be there to pick me up? Can we find hope in the wake of committing the deepest and darkest sins of our lives? After the affair. After the adultery. After the murder. After the deception. When we are most disillusioned about our own salvation because of our depravity, this is when the doctrine of the atonement and mediation shine brightest.

I’m far more sinful, broken, and weak than I want to be. Do you still love me?

We sin, we feel shame, that shame leads us to run away from God and others in isolation, then the isolation leaves us empty. Thus, turning to sin we begin the cycle again. Where do we go when we are trapped in this hell of a cycle?

A song for the discouraged soul. It is not your hold of Christ that saves, but His hold of you.

Nights full of lonely accusatory questions aimed at yourself. “Am I even a Christian, does God love me anymore?” Your sin, like a desert, drying up every bit of hopeful water you have. Where do we turn when this is where we find ourselves?
