S5E15 | Romans 7: Every Christian Struggles With Sin. And Yes, There's A Purpose In The Struggle

There’s a deeper problem
inside you that you don’t see.
Romans 7:24 (ESV) Wretched man that I am! Who will
deliver me from this body of death?

⚠️ OUR CURRENT CULTURAL MOMENT:⚠️
Little boy: “I feel like a girl in a boys body.”
Culture: “You are right in those feelings. We are going to change laws
and science to accommodate you.”

⚠️BLAME CULTURE in the SOCIETY⚠️
Person: “Your view offends me.”
Cultural Rulers (Big Tech): Suspend, silence and censor them.
Cultural Rulers (University): Disinvite speakers, fire professors, etc.
Cultural Rulers (Government): Vilify then Prosecute dissenters.

The problem with modern preaching is that
preachers offer advice, guidance, counsel, and
care, but rarely (if ever) address the true nature
of our sinfulness. 💯💯

⚠️ BLAME CULTURE in the CHURCH⚠️
Church Person: “The Pastor offended me with what he said.”
Church: “Okay, we will stop talking about that.”

SPIRITUAL MATURITY: Is not an awareness that we are getting good but rather a
humbling awareness that we are far more sinful than we
realize and we need more of Jesus and the Holy Spirit
every single day.

The only way to change is to
FIRST realize you can’t:
1. You are worse than you realize.

2. The problem is sin inside you.

3. Sin inside you is more powerful than willpower.
4. (Because willpower is also tainted by sin!)
5. I NEED SOMEONE TO SAVE ME.

Blame OR Change, YOUR CHOICE.

THE GREATEST BENEFIT TO OUR STRUGGLE WITH SIN:
to teach us to rely more
and more on God and less
and less on ourselves.
