Sin, Lust, Masturbation, Pornography, Biblical Repentance
These videos from I'll Be Honest have been tremendously, tremendously helpful for me personally, and many others all over the world. And I just thank God that He has provided such supplements for the faith of believers through many mediums in His grace. In the preaching of the Word, the administration of the ordinances, even in books and videos such as these. What grace, despite the depths of our unbelief and sin, the Blood still runs ...

Sanctification by the Truth of God’s Word
It is every believer's cross to bear the struggle and battle against sin as we labor and desire to live holy unto God. But little emphasis is given today on the ordained means by God to accomplish such a task in the life of a Christian. He that works sanctification in us is God in the person of the Holy Spirit, but Scripture does not suggest at all that holiness comes by staring into nothingness ...

Dear God, I am a Vile, Wretched, Monster of Iniquity!
I wrote this prayer almost a week ago in the "Nothing but Feeble Saints" blog. At that time I was severely afflicted and buffeted by my afflictions, temptations and sin. Repeatedly I found myself to be the worst of professors as I was caught up in the rebellion of my flesh towards my God. And though God has healed my soul now, this prayer will still sound true in my heart for still I am ...

Ponder What the Word “Lost” Implies!
I do not know if it is the case for you, but many times in my life, in many days I go by, I find myself not praying aright. Yes, it is so easy to utter prayers of supplication and such. But it is so much a different thing altogether to utter prayers that flow from a tender heart that truly communes with God in deep groanings and sighs. What a sad image do I see ...

On Sin and Repentance—True Repentance
Though it seems like such a simple concept, repentance sometimes seems like such a foreign and strange word. Even with Christians there are many, many moments when repentance becomes such an unknown thing. May it be because of being far too familiar with the principle or not hearing much of it, whatever it may be, there are very few things that would compare to the acute heart-pain that arises when one realizes and says, "Why ...

Grief That One Poor Fountain of Tears can Never Express
The coldness of heart toward sin is always such a terrible thing. A tragic thing. How is it that our hearts can look at the dying, bleeding Savior and not be broken with such a vision? Perhaps it is because we take it too lightly. The vision of the God-man, Christ Jesus, bearing the shame of the wrath of men whilst bearing the full weight of the fury of the wrath of God, somehow has tragically ...

Sin’s Painted Pleasures and Sugared Poisions…
As the Scriptures often call attention to the “heart” or “soul” of a person, Owen argues that such references tend to be shorthand for the various faculties, and thus to deal with sin the whole person must be engaged. Although Owen gives ample attention to each of the faculties, let us focus on the affections as a test case to show the nature of sin and temptation. Far too often Christians working within the Reformed ...

O LORD, How Vile Am I
"Behold, I am vile!" Job 40:4 O Lord, how vile am I, Unholy and unclean! How can I dare to venture nigh, With such a load of sin? Is this polluted heart A dwelling fit for Thee? Swarming, alas! in every part, What evils do I see! If in Thy Word I look, Such darkness fills my mind; I only read a sealed book, And no relief can find! Thy gospel oft I hear, But hear it still in vain; Without desire, or love, or fear, I like a stone remain! Myself ...

God’s Wrath is Coming. Are You Ready?
It has been a while since I've last listened to a sermon that is centered around the Biblical exposition of true repentance and saving faith in Christ. I fear that the preaching of true repentance and the examination of one's self in light of the mirror of God's Word is called to the people far to little today. Is it because of fear? Is it because of apathy in the comforts of the church hall? ...
