Religion & Spirituality
Temptation and sin are deceptive and powerful. Sin convinces you that you can’t be helped; sin convinces you that it is the best way to help; sin convinces you that it’s not even sin. It over-promises and under-delivers. Sin lies. David wrote Psalm 51 in the aftermath of incredible and heavy sin (2 Samuel 11 & 12). In giving into sin, David didn’t become an atheist; he didn’t stop believing in God or his Law. He just let God become unreal to him. Perhaps David’s story of stupidity could stop you from continuing yours. While sin lies, God is faithful to forgive, and trustworthy to transform.
