Accountability Software Can't Make You Love God
Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness!
On this episode I talk about accountability software. It has been a conversation I've had with other men lately and I want to address it. My fear is that too many men are living out of fear instead of the freedom that we were saved for. We don't have to white knuckle our sin. If we love God and we want to seek Him, we can choose to grow in holiness and our love for Him.
Main thoughts for this episode:
- Boundaries and guard rails are good but they don't give power to obey them or keep them. They don't give us the power to love Christ more.
- True love COSTS something, and our love must fuel our acts of devotion.
Application Questions:
- Are you viewing your sin in light of the freedom that God wants for you?
- Or are you white knuckling your sin and only thinking about not sinning?
- Is your obedience motivated by love for Christ or is it motivated by fear, shame, or something else?
- What small steps can you take TODAY to change your thinking and move foward in the freedom Christ has for you?!
- To change your thinking from "not sinning" to growing in holiness and love for Christ.
