Bryce

So if you continue living in spiritual darkness, you're lying to yourself, saying that you have fellowship with God. It's a choice. You make choices in life. You choose to give things up. You choose to stop sinning. And it's hard. It's really hard. There are things, like Ari said, where I would have never thought in a million years I could ever overcome.

But Jesus literally died for that reason, to empower us. And it feels discouraging. Sometimes to look at the sin before you, to look at the sin in your life, but be empowered, be encouraged to know that you in your own might and in your own strength, you probably can't do it. But Jesus literally came to give us that power from the Holy Spirit himself to overcome sin.

I feel like when I read 1 Corinthians, Paul says, no temptation has overtaken you that's not common to man. And so I know when Bryce struggles with sin, it makes me want to go isolate because no one's going to understand how I feel. There's the part of the human nature that goes isolate because no one understands how I feel.

There's the part of the human nature that goes isolate because no one understands how I feel.

And then there's the other part of the human nature that's selfish and says, let me isolate and protect my self-image. And he says, no temptation is overtaking that's not common to man because when we isolate, we think no one's going through it. So I think for Bryce is when I struggle with sin, I have to recognize that there's a whole lot of people that are actually struggling with what I do.

So it doesn't make me feel alone in it. And then Paul finishes that out. I think it's 1 Corinthians 10, 13, where he basically explains that there is a backdoor to sin. There's no sin we can't say no to. And so when I read the epistles and the gospels, it tells us that temptation is inevitable. But when they write about sin, it always says, if we sin. If we sin, if we sin, if we sin.

Now, I'm a sinner. I struggle with sin a lot. But that gave me a lot of comfort, knowing that Paul says temptation is inevitable, but through the power and strength of his spirit, I can say no to it. And just to invite you into my personal life, 2024 was one of the hardest years of my life. Seriously. Growing with Christ, I felt like all of 2023, my life was filled with grace. So much grace.

God loves me and it's amazing. Oh man, praise God, it's awesome. And I felt great. And I carried so much grace that when Bryce fell into sin in 2023 because I thought I was all sunshine and rainbows, I carried more guilt and shame that year than I've ever felt in my life. Then in 2024, I said, it's not about grace, it's just straight truth. So I got to press it in.

So I was memorizing the scripture. Oh, I got to wield my sword of the spirit to combat this temptation. And I got it and I got it. And I was just crushing myself. I knew the verses. sin across the board, pride, anger, and lust would come my way, and it felt like that I knew the verses.
