“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness — they have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means — the only complete realist.” C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity
All of us fall short of the glory of God.
We're all sinners, regardless of how hard with fight between our spirit & our flesh.
The struggle is real.
Let the world know...
Christ is King.
Surrender. Pray. Win.
Admittedly, I am no biblical scholar.
I have very little memorized, & I struggle to understand at times...
So when things like this are pointed out to me, I immediately go back and have a look.
God is amazing.
Jesus is King.
Surrender. Pray. Win.
Charlie Kirk's advice to a young professing Christian:
1. Read the Bible every day
2. Do what the Bible tells you to do
3. Tell people what the Bible says
God bless him. 🙏
As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I firmly believe this: Human beings are born to know God. That’s why I rightly know God through Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ is the final and perfect revelation of God.
“And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.” Mark 7:20-23 ESV
God is real. Jesus rose. Death was defeated.
Without that context? Life becomes a nightmare of false idols: status, sex, designer boots and fame.
When they fall—and they will—what will you be left with?
Choose wisely what you worship. Eternity depends on it.
People turn to porn looking for fulfillment, but it only leaves them more empty and enslaved. True freedom—the kind that actually satisfies—is found in Christ alone.
“For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.” Galatians 6:8 ESV
