"Christians are rapidly losing sight of SIN as the root of all human woes. And many Christians are explicitly denying that their own sin can be the cause of their personal anguish. More and more are attempting to explain the human dilemma in wholly unbiblical terms: temperament, addiction, dysfunctional families, the child within, codependency, and a host of other irresponsible escape mechanisms promoted by secular psychology.
The potential impact of such a drift is frightening. Remove the reality of sin, and you take away the possibility of repentance. Abolish the doctrine of human depravity and you void the divine plan of salvation. Ease the notion of personal guilt and you eliminate the need for a Savior." John MacArthur
Are we willing to be honest with ourselves, looking at our hearts battling indwelling sin, and look where the real problem is...in the mirror? And then look at where the real solution is...the cross. I need to know that my problem is within...my problem is Mike Simmons. And to God Be The Glory, the solution is to go the the cross, realizing that the solution is to remember the great cost that MY sin cost the Savior. I challenge us all to cry out to God to change our hearts and protect us from the temptation of thinking the problem is out there somewhere. In the words of Martyn Lloyd Jones, "May we stop listening to ourselves and begin talking to ourselves." And may the words we hear be the Word of God that will transform our hearts and minds.
Colossians 3:1-3
