“Isn’t it amazing how adaptable our hearts are to harboring sin? Our sin-nature is like a chameleon, disguising itself to look however it needs to look in order to make us feel like our sin isn’t too much. Too far. Too messy. As if sin has a grading scale we can negotiate. We always could be worse, couldn’t we?”

“As God’s perfect and crafted creations, given the freedom of choice from a loving Creator, we didn’t revolt with the desire to be bad people; we revolted with the desire to be our own people. And all that could come from that was the bad and the broken we wrestle with now. We revolted as His people to become our own people, and through the course of history we’ve rarely looked back since.”

“We cannot afford to drink our culture’s Kool-Aid and believe we are superior to an omnipotent and omnipresent King. Scripture reminds us, time and time again, the humbling truth of God’s access to even the deepest depths of our darkened souls—after all, it is that very access that enables Him to reach deep into our self-dug pits and resuscitate our hardened hearts. We are only fooling ourselves if we truly believe the Creator of the universe does not have holy night vision in the most shadowed places of our stories.”

“We are creatures made to worship. But because we are fallen, because we rebelled, we quickly choose to worship ourselves, and that is where our sexual sin begins—not in choosing to be bad but choosing to be our own, despite recognizing we were created as His.”
