Compared with other centuries life has never been easier for much of the Western world. We are constantly entertained, amused, and catered to.
With all the fascinating attractions...it's easy to forget that the pursuit of happiness is not what life is about.
Only as we remember that life is a test, a trust, and a temporary assignment will the appeal of these things lose their grip on our lives.
We are preparing for something even better.
"If you want to have a decreasing frequency of sin in your life and an increasing amount of spiritual growth, you must acknowledge your responsibility... Your sin is your fault... Sin ultimately occurs as an act of the will-and you are responsible for it. Perhaps one of the best examples...was the prodigal son. When he returned home...he said,"Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son" (Luke 15:21)... That is the right attitude of one who confesses sin."
John MacArthur
