Are your little sins the dragons you're refusing to slay? We're unpacking the profound impact of these seemingly minor sins in our lives, referencing the biblical account of Lot and his family's hesitation to leave Sodom and Gomorrah. We address our struggles with sin, emphasizing the importance of totally severing ties with it, not just shying away but fully turning back.
We've all tried to bargain with God over our little sins, right? Through a deep dive into the story of Lot and his family, we illustrate how even the smallest sins are seen as equal in God's eyes, and how we often attempt to defend our attachment to these smaller sins. We'll make you rethink your negotiations with God, urging you to repent fully as Lot was told to do. Furthermore, we emphasize the ongoing struggle against sin, drawing comparisons with the story of Joshua and the city of AI.
Lastly, we delve into the high stakes of ignoring our sins and the distractions they create. Stirred up by a personal account from a Navy veteran who witnessed reckless behaviour at a basketball game, we examine how prevalent sin is in different forms. We urge you to acknowledge and confront these sins before they lead to destructive consequences. Our ultimate challenge to you is simple - stop entertaining or justifying your "little sins" and focus on exercising faith. After all, the sum of small sins can create a catastrophic tsunami. Let's not underestimate the power of faith amidst the dangers of sin.
BE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
