"The Defiant Ones" [Sea 4 / Ep 6]

from Deeper In The Word · host Reverend Adrian L Robinson II

For all our movie buffs our there….y’all ever heard of a film called “The Defiant Ones”? It’s an Academy Award winning movie about two escaped prisoners - one Black and one White - who are shackled to each other and must cooperate in order to survive and escape to FREEDOM....essentially, it’s a movie all about bondage. Well, unlike the characters in that movie, followers of Christ are NO LONGER in bondage – we’re free from bondage to sin and worldly ways. But sometimes we don’t ACT like we’re free. Sometimes, we rebel against that freedom….which isn’t a very smart way to live, because what we’re REALLY rebelling against is God’s will and way for our lives. So goes this week’s episode of our flagship podcast, which finds RevRob exploring the concept of both willful and unintentional disobedience to God, and the motivations behind each. Come fellowship with us as we explore this topic, including discussions surrounding the misconception that being saved means sin is gone FOREVER from your life; the idea that it doesn’t matter if you disobey God ON PURPOSE or not; why doing what God tells us to do serves as the PROOF of your love for Him; how you can INTEND to do the right thing, but can actually make things WORSE for yourself (and others); and what a teenager plans to do on Friday night and Saturday afternoon has to do with what God has planned for YOUR life!
