Episode Details

Some people repeat the same sins and blunders endlessly, even after receiving clear counsel, because as Solomon says “the way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.” Without a teachable heart, there can be no growth, and without regeneration there can be no teachable heart. The spiritually dead cannot be taught; they prefer talking about change to actually changing. But the just walk “as the shining light,” growing steadily because the life of Christ is in them. Growth is not optional for a Christian; it is the inevitable fruit of regeneration. The question we must ask is whether our lives show this growing light whether we heed God’s Word and mature in righteousness or whether we remain self-satisfied, repeating our sins in the darkness.
