He contrasts our tendency to minimize or rename sin (“issues,” “baggage,” “triggers”) with the Bible’s clear teaching that sin is rebellion against God.\nKey themes:\nThe goal of the Christian life is to be conformed to the image of Christ (progressive sanctification).\nGrowth means \"putting off\" the old self and \"putting on\" the new self.\nSin is an inside job, always destructive, and always a battle to kill—or it will kill us.\nWe don’t overcome sin by sheer willpower but by the work of the Holy Spirit in us.\nParents are called to build godly “customs” into their homes, especially regarding church and spiritual practices.\nScripture to Read:\nMain Scripture Passage \n   - Luke 2:39–52 \nSupporting Scripture Passage \n   - Romans 8:28–29 \nApplication Scripture Passage \n   - Colossians 3:9–10 \nQuestions to consider:\n- Where have I been excusing sin instead of naming it as sin?\n- In what areas do I need to “put off” old patterns and “put on” Christlike ones?\n- How can I actively depend on the Holy Spirit rather than just trying harder?","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/IopCaxSTJ2ehpv3MS8IEV2j95w_P2_kp0iVG4kCvkok/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mMTYw/MTkxMTk3ZjE4NjNh/Nzg2YjlhZGE3Mjdm/NTFjMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
