I see shadows sometimes.
I don’t mean the shadows on the wall, but, they feel just as menacing and just as scary.
The human condition is such a struggle. Every day we’re bombarded with temptation; not just sexual temptation, but temptation to act and behave out of our own power. This sort of struggle shows itself in many different ways, but the core issue is just the same: we lack control over our flesh. It seems like such an impossible task, even for the Apostles of the early church.
Let me start by saying that I did not grow up in a Christian home, have hated church for much of my life, have sinned more than I could possibly admit, am still not married, have called out Christians for their hypocrisy while being a hypocrite, do not have a seminary degree, and am completely unqualified to lead a church or give you advice in a blog…but I have met Jesus and I want other people to.
