Day 23 is Live
from The Eternal Love Story Podcast · host Mike Cleveland
Day 23 is ready, and today’s lesson addresses something that quietly trips up a great many believers. We are in Romans 7:8-11, where Paul exposes one of sin’s most effective and most overlooked strategies. Sin does not need to invent new temptations. It simply seizes the commandment itself, the very law God gave for your good, and uses it as a base of operations. The moment a rule says “don’t,” something in us wants to. And the more rules we pile on hoping to gain victory, the more ammunition we hand to the very thing we are fighting. Today’s lesson shows you why, and more importantly, it shows you what actually works.The Day 23 study guide is here: https://forms.gle/7qqn4ncYXhN3MMbg7The questions today are designed to press you into the specific distinctions Paul is making, so give them careful thought before you write, particularly the complete-the-thought questions.As always, all previous lessons are available in the archive if you are catching up.
