Today is Tuesday, September 18th, 2018, and here is your daily devote. The lies of unbelief, idolatry, and rebellion are in every human heart and everywhere in our culture. People mostly assume that to follow your heart is the best path to happiness and freedom, contrary to the wisdom of fairy tales, scripture shows that those who follow their hearts are actually following the voice of Satan. The fact is, the idols of our hearts promise a lot, but never deliver.
Eventually, all idols disappoint, and when they do, our natural response is to try and rationalize our sinful behavior or shift the blame to someone else, as in the case of Adam and Eve. Try and justify cheating on an assignment because we have to maintain a certain GPA for college admission, or we attempt to cover our sin with good works, as if those can make up for anything we have done. Think about this. What are some examples of movies, music, or television shows where the slogan follow your heart or trust in yourself is communicated?
Is this a good or bad advice? Like Adam and Eve, what are some ways we try to cover our sin, rationalize it, or shift the blame to someone else? Thanks for listening to the Daily Depot. I would love to connect with you, either on social media or you can send me an email at adambertin.net.
Oh, please, share this. Why get sent it to somebody who it might be a benefit to? God bless.
