SERMON INFO
Is there a sinful habit that is dominating your life to the point where you're tired of being ensnared over and over again? You've prayed about it, you've surrendered your sin to God, you've been more zealous about reading the Bible, praying, attending church and you still can't shake it.

This broadcast will give you hope regarding how you can break free for good.

Returning to Crosstalk to address this issue was Dr. Erwin Lutzer. Dr. Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the senior pastor for 36 years. He's the speaker on three radio programs that are heard on more than 750 outlets.

Dr. Lutzer began describing the cycle of stubborn habits by looking specifically how these work under the addiction of alcohol. First, the person is ashamed, they are brought low, and they say, "never again." They keep their word for a while and begin to have confidence that they can control it after all. After that they go back and then the cycle is even more difficult to break.

He reminded listeners that while we may actually think we have sin "licked," we never do and are always struggling with temptation. The issues involved may not entirely be our fault, but at the same time God holds us accountable.

Dr. Lutzer indicated there is a lot of preaching today that leaves the impression that we like to sin, God loves to forgive and therefore we've got a great thing going. However, we must recognize it's not even about us breaking our habits. Instead, it's the fact that we're offending God and grieving the Holy Spirit by which we have been sealed us unto the day of redemption. So in the end, do we want to please God or ourselves?
