- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. One of the biggest reasons people get into spiritual depressions is because of sin.
- 00:19
- Some sin that they are doing consistently, habitually, and they don't want to stop.
- 00:25
- And they know that the effect is that they don't want to be in church, they don't want to be in God's Word, they don't want to pray.
- 00:31
- And this can cause people to avoid the very thing that they need to be strong enough to be able to resist sin.
- 00:42
- We need to be in God's Word, we need to be in prayer, and we need to be with God's people. That's what strengthens us to live in a way that's pleasing to God.
- 00:51
- If you want to overcome your sin so that you can have that relationship with Christ that you cherish, well, it's not going to come by continuing in sin,
- 01:02
- I can tell you that. No, the only thing you have to do, and the only thing you can do, is repent.
- 01:08
- You have to put down that sin, recognize what Christ did for that sin.
- 01:14
- He died on a bloody cross as a payment of that sin. And we have to make sure we're doing the things
- 01:22
- God calls us to do, which is force yourself, if need be, to be studying His Word, to be in prayer, to be in church.
- 01:30
- Because avoiding the gathering of God's people, it is the very thing that we need.
- 01:36
- In fact, that's what Galatians 6 .1 says, is that when we are in that place, we're so weak, we need to have our brothers come alongside us.
- 01:45
- We need to confess our sins to them so they can pray for us and lift us up. Don't forsake the assembling together.
