Stolen Water
Do you want to be healed?
We are all the man by the pool. We believe we can be healed by our own means and just need a little help so we can adjust our attempts. “I got this” is often the mantra I hear from men recovering from sexual sin. They have forgotten about their brokenness, time has passed, things are going well and now their “I” is growing back. They have returned to the sin of self-reliance before their relapse even occurs. In many of these cases, when the relapse occurs, a “worse thing comes upon them.”
Where are you going?
Pursuing holiness and sexual purity each day is difficult to perform in a land which promotes self-reliance and the hedonistic pursuit of happiness. We need His word and Spirit to direct each step of the way. We need fellow travelers to encourage and challenge us when the journey becomes overwhelming.
