Resources: The Power of Sin

How Sin Makes Us Addicts

Category: The Power of Sin

The definition of sin is replacing God with something or someone, resulting in an addiction of spirit. There is an attraction at the spiritual level every bit as powerful as sexual attraction at the physical level: you cannot produce your own meaning in life, your own worth, your own security. Spiritually speaking, if it's not God who is the source of your meaning, then you're in bed with something else.

Nakedness & the Holiness of God

Category: The Power of Sin

We were created perfect in a perfect world. Adam and Eve rebelled against God's rule, which resulted in sin, shame, and nakedness. Ever since, we have been trying to cover our nakedness and hide our true selves from God, ourselves, and other people. We can never adequately deal with our nakedness, but God has come into our wrecked world to provide a perfect cover for us.

Sin and Temptation

Category: The Power of Sin

Tests come from God, but temptation or the enticement to sin comes from what's inside of our hearts. Every trial is a test that can move you toward the crown of life, but it can also could push you toward death. To deal with temptation we must deal with our underlying desires and reorient them to a new love.

Sin as Predator

Category: The Power of Sin

We drastically underestimate the power of sin. Sin, by its nature, hides itself. It crouches at your door; it always looks smaller than it is; and your sins are not done with you when you think you are done with them. But there is hope in the gospel.

Sin as Slavery

Category: The Power of Sin

Why do we sin - even when we know right from wrong? Sin is a power that enslaves us, but we can be freed from its power by encountering God through worship.
