I’m a sober addict. As time went on, I needed more. I needed to enhance things to make them more thrilling. While doing this I pushed the people around me away. His word sets me free, but also staying close to others. By seeking God, I also stay connected to others.
Thank you Tim Keller! What insight!

[@angelaf1305]

Sin is the promise of freedon that takes freedom away

[@mikemestas9835]

......that's a really good one----i ought to write it down....

[@vikkibono]

Wow. Sin is a power, not an act. It is a spiritual power that cannot be seen. It's a battle that can only be broken by what cannot be seen. Our battle is not against flesh and blood...I need Jesus' power to be free!

[@estheryi5799]

His insight is from heaven. Thank God for Pastor Tim Keller. May he remain well and healthy. Praying for healing.

[@billwrites411]

Very helpful reminder. Sin masquerades as freedom.

[@weldapurba6044]

Thank you Tim for this beautiful message. Can't stop crying on how it speaks so loud to me..

[@cjrb]

Shows you the power of God's Word being preached faithfully. It's astoundingly true. Forgiveness and sin are incredibly difficult concepts to grasp with. Jesus is Lord

Jesus with your spirit lsm.org
This was a good sermon

[@MessengerAngie]

I can’t be the same now👏🏾

[@missesraisin]

Sin withdrawal is a killer, the swept clean empty mind is horrible. We really don't want to be alone with our own thoughts lol. BUT we can get past that to fill our minds with curiosity about GOD and his plan for us and the world we live in. JESUS ROCKS!

[@daniellim5781]

Only God's words can set you free from the power of sin and I've experienced it in my youth and it's a kind of freedom nothing in this world can give.

[@Hebrew42Day]

Imagine if people could see the demons they serve, in their slavery to sin. How they grow more powerful with every sin you commit in their name.

[@johnkim7802]

Under many circumstances, sin is convenient and easy to accept usually. It's usually the easiest option among a given set of alternatives as well. Most people will go with whatever brings comfort or an sense of such before even questioning what is the right choice or whether there is a right and/or noble choice in a given situation for the vast majority of situations. Such is ultimately human nature and what most people choose but the Bible radically tells us that there is such a concept as sin which is a part of human nature.
For the Israelites, they face some starvation and small troubles after they leave Egypt. Such makes them go into a stance where they would eliminate any such risk even if it meant giving up their physical freedom where they were subjugated to rape, exploitation, and poverty along with being in a state against their religious freedom most importantly.
Many sins become an addiction just like Timothy Keller explains. It doesn't just become a temporary solution but the easier path and lure of it become extremely addicting. And people get addicted to sin just like drugs and/or sex! Jesus describes how people have an ultimate need that keeps wanting more and when such isn't filled with Jesus, they will fill it with different master(s).

[@Fliperyy]

So we’ll said, John Kim!

[@angelaf1305]

11:45 the more I try to do good the more I sense evil within me
...
14:40 And God is saying: "I want you to know that I going to give you what you want, but the more you get of it the less you will love it"
28:12 you will lose your appetite for everything else because you've lost your appetite for me

[@mikemestas9835]

[@Freddymost]

[@mikemestas9835]

no puede aver me deseo por malo porque yo pienso lo bueno pues yo enslavar de pecado addicto en mismo lugar puesto........ Por eso leer su Biblio ......Romanos , Corinthos , Exodus , Psl , y Juan.

[@frankiecarterTooCoolFaDaBull]

Slavery is a Sin. And sin is slavery. Sin is addictive.

[@yjk5737]

Is it better to live in sin to avoid self-righteousness?

[@Alexkearney]

Living in sin IS self-righteousness. When we sin we are saying, "God, I am doing things my way. I am living by my own standards, not yours."

[@mikemestas9835]

i have done that to justify my sin....its insane!

[@steflondon88]

That's like saying should I be the arrogant brother outside the house, or the prodigal son leaving the father spending all the money and losing himself. The point is we are fighting sin.. You can't be arrogant when you know how much of a sinner you are. It's a battle to stop sinning - but if we say we are without sin, we are liars. He forgives when we come to him and ask. & overall we are forgiven when we have truly asked for forgiveness and surrendered our lives.

[@Shejo284]

So what was the distress of Adam and Eve that the agent promised deliverance from?
