KILLING SIN Part 4

Send us Fan MailIf we are to obey the Scriptures and fight our sin, we must supply the heart with a greater fascination and obsession than the sin we are fighting. The heart cannot equally pursue two opposing desires. The key is to expel a lesser longing with a greater, more pleasure-offering desire. When the heart is offered a superior affection, the lesser affection will pale in comparison. The heart will naturally go out and pursue the chief desire. Nevertheless, we, if honest, must admit that our hearts are often lusting, coveting lesser desires, less worthy loves. How is this possible? I have had the love of God as my heart’s greatest treasure, obsession, and fascination, why is it that sin still catches my eye? And once I lose sight of Christ, why is it that I can’t see Him in His beauty like I once did?Please listen as Michael Durham answers these most important questions in our pursuit of Christ and His holiness.
