Temptation Is Not the Same as Sin - Kevin DeYoung (University Reformed Church): They are not the same. Just because you are struggling with temptation does not mean you are mired in sin. The spiritual progression in the human heart goes from desire to temptation to sin to death.
Repentance Should Grow from Relationship - Rick Holland (Mission Road Bible Church): When coming to God’s Word, it is so important for me to remember that it is the revelation of God Himself to me that is the priority. The avoidance of and repentance from sin is the result of seeking God with all my heart.
Jesus Is Not Your Sin-Manager - Owen Strachan (Desiring God): Even after we come to faith and our sin debt is fully and gloriously paid, we still have to attack sin. We still have to wake up every morning and fight it. We’re not in the red; we’re in the black. But we can’t be lax. We can’t live lazily, putting our sins into new file folders. There’s no part of a Spirit-indwelt Christian that approaches sin as if it’s here to stay.
Already?!? - Katrina Sandowich (Grace Brethren Church): Micah & Katrina Sandowich live in Siberia with their three children! We're big fans of the work they're doing there and want to make sure you can stay up to date on what's happening with them!
