Make Spiritual Victory a Habit
Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only
Date Recorded: 8 Jul, 2007
Location: Pittsburgh, PA 
Topics: Regeneration / Spiritual Growth
Description: Today's message: Leading a good life sometimes seems hard, but if we just make a habit of repenting then the Lord will do all the heavy lifting.
To understand and apply this, first read Matthew 11:30, Heaven and Hell 528, Psalm 51, and Heaven and Hell 533, and then listen to the audio of this sermon.
It is important to realize, though, that the difficulty of thinking like this and also of resisting evils increases to the extent that we deliberately do evil things - €”in fact, to the extent we become used to doing them until ultimately we no longer see them. Then we come to love them and to excuse them to gratify our love and to rationalize them with all kinds of self-deceptions and call them permissible and good. This happens, though, to people who in early adulthood plunge into all kinds of evil without restraint and at the same time at heart reject everything divine.
