Any Unchecked Sin Is Ruinous

Any Unchecked Sin Is Ruinous

Exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:13). I was thinking this past week about cases where a person who has been a professed believer, maybe even a well-known Christian leader, falls into public sin or even apostasy, walking away from the Christian faith. Sadly, there have been many such cases in the news lately.

Four Ways Self-Pity Distorts Your Perception of Reality

Along with so many other “small” sins in our lives, self-pity is actually very dangerous and self-destructive. The good news, however, is that the Bible gives us some very insightful help regarding this age-old sin.

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Are You Growing in Your Joy for Christ?

Do you struggle with spiritual growth?

We are not born—or born again—with a certain “spiritual DNA” that dooms us to dwarfed Christian lives no matter what we do.

Spiritual growth is expected of every Christian believer, no matter your background or how recently (or long ago) you became a Christian. And as we grow in God's grace, we discover our joy grows as well.

Grow: The Command to Ever-Expanding Joy will help you experience the ever-expanding joy of genuine spiritual growth.

“Feeling stuck in your spiritual growth? This book by Justin Huffman may be what you’re looking for.”
     —Donald Whitney


“The adjectives ‘good,’ ‘wholesome,’ and ‘nourishing’ kept running through my mind as I read through Justin Huffman’s brief work on spiritual growth.”
     —Paul Washer
