Most of us would not be accused of taking the fight against our sins too seriously, but too lightly.

How to see sin as bad as it really is.

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?

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?

God is not against our pleasure with his laws and commands, but for them! He designed everything. He designed love, sex, money, relationships. Does the engineer know more about the inner workings of a complex machine than the operator?

Sin looks enticing because, at the core, sinful action is always a symptom of sinful beliefs.

Sin thrives in darkness. Sin shrivels in the light.
