If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.” - [1 John 1:8-10]( Have you ever been at a red light and been tempted to blaze through it? Were you running late or getting impatient because the person ahead of you was texting on a cell phone? Have you pushed the envelope just enough because you saw someone else going through it and thought that you would be ok because they were going too? Sin is like a red light. It tempts us, lure us in, and tells us to push the limits and come on through; however, it leads us to damage and destruction in our lives and in the lives of others. [1 John 1:8-10]( warns us that we all sin and reminds us of the hope that we can all have through Jesus to forgive us of the many “red lights” that we have crossed in our thoughts and in our lives. “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”  [CONTINUE READING →](            You May Also Like:        [8 Ways Satan Tries to Stop You from Worshiping](  Tim Challies Think of the times that you decide to stay in bed instead of getting up to read the Bible; think of the times you scrapped family worship for no good reason; think of the times you stayed home from church instead of going to worship.  [CONTINUE READING →](       [9 Strategies to Help You Fight Habitual Sin](  Aaron D'Anthony Brown I write to you with strategies learned through experience, through recovery groups, fellow sinners, counseling, and the Bible itself.
