Tired of Struggling with Sin? | ask Theocast

Are you tired of struggling with the same sin over and over again? Feel like you will never have the strength to stand up to temptation or give in when frustrated? What does the bible have to say to those who are falling into besetting sins? Are we to simply try harder? Discipline ourselves more? Pastor Jon Moffitt takes you to the bible and shows you how God has designed his family to care for each other when struggling with sin.

Thank you. Deeply grateful for the Lord's kindness through this message of hope and safety.

Wow.... I needed to hear this. I've been a Christian a long time, and I know God's word. But I've been struggling with marijuana for years. I'm miserable and in a way I'm thankful for the misery (I hate grieving the Holy Spirit). I just haven't been able to get out of this funk that's been holding me back for years and years. I sit back now and realize I don't have a brotherhood of believers around me... I've been lone rangering it for too long.

I am very thankful for this podcast! Especially since in my first year as a Christian I was struggling a lot with pietism, with not doing enough, and even though I still struggle with those things today, it's like I am on a detox program from everything I used to believe.

I love the way you put this together. Man. I feel such a relief knowing the love God has for us. I also felt called out on the lone ranger part but that's conviction and I'm grateful for it. Pray for me I haven't gone to church in months because I felt ashamed.. I now know that's the enemy. I pray for anyone else who's going through this, may we all be led by God towards our spiritual brothers/sisters/elders in Christ, amen.

I struggle a lot with anger and impatience. Over and over I fail in these areas. And have wrestled with questioning my standing with Christ a lot. To the point of feeling hopeless. Im so thankful my husband is the stronger "brother" who speaks these truths so fully and lovingly into me.

I'm so tired of repenting so many times before always the same sin

[markdiblasi]

But now it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells in me.Rom 7:17, 20.

Wonderfully put. Church is more - much more - than music and a sermon; it’s the other 6 days of the week as the community becomes one body.

I was thinking it’s easier to help but I found it hard to help a brother struggling in sin. While I was searching for a way to reach out and help; I found myself to this beautiful video. I always see my past self in people that struggle and desire to help as a brother who is now a pastor carried me with books to read and scriptures.

I feei lost in my sin sometimes. And I want to feel closer to JESUS CHRIST I thank you for giving me hope.

This is a great video but i have one issues. Regarding going to church. I love church and was involved in church ministry for years. I late 2017 I lost my vehicle and have no been able to get one since. The church I was attending never took the time to help with transportation. Since that time I have contacted different churches for rides, and for help with addiction. To this day, no one will help me get to church or even help with my sin issues. So I feel disqualified from help because I cannot get to church, through no fault of my own. I do have a friend I met through a Christian FB page who is a counselor and video chats with me once a week. He is helping me with the sin issues and to overcome religious OCD and performance/condemnation based living. Yes, just now learning how to relate to God as Father/son.

I wish I could go back to 2003 when I was walking with God for about a year and every night my highlight of my life was my devotion time and my alone time with God.. even though I struggled in sin like I do today I believed I would have victory over them and it would not get me down much... years and years of the same struggles and other disappointments in my life and I slowly became defeated to the point where today I have almost no prayer life and I lost my passion to see souls saved... I try so hard to reach out to God to light the fire in my heart again, but nothing.. my testimony at work is a joke, I don't stand up against or try to walk away from the inappropriate conversations with co workers like I should.. Whenever I am driving a long and I don't stop to see if someone on the side of the road needs help because I''m focused on getting to where I need to go I feel like God is saying to me "some Christian you think you are".... I just have no energy left in me and I'm scared it can only me I am headed to the Lake of Fire

[taylormorris]

I appreciate you keeping it about the Bible and nothing more than that brother.

ITS NOT LIKE WE SAY I THINK I WILL SIN TODAY BUT NOT TOMROW none of us do that

[brandonwellington]

My right hand causes me to sin. I struggle to cut it off.

[DicksonPhiri-svtq]

I confess every time but keep on falling into the same sin, the sin of lust, uncleanness. I want to repent wholeheartedly. Need prayers and deliverance

[savedbyHisGrace]

New to this chat video vlog... you will see more of my comments. First I revealed my sin, was laughed at. Among many other issues, as well I been successful because what Jesus done on the cross. Isaiah chapter two verse twenty-two. I left it to God and I like the poor men broken and begging. As Christ defeated the very struggles I face if I trust Him with everything in me.

[timothydavis]

John, I don't feel like you really answered the question. Yes, we need to escape from shame. But telling other people isn't necessarily the answer to defeating sin. For instance, a person doesn't start sinning because they feel shame, even though shame can make it worse. Shame is not the root cause. For a person who does not struggle with pietism and yet deals with committing the same sin over and over (such as bursts of anger), how does that true Christian stop committing that sin over and over, which is hurting people in the process? How does confessing to other Christians address the root cause of a specific sin? For me, I do not struggle with anger. But I do deal with other besetting sins, and yet as a Christian for decades, they still rear their ugly head. I don't particularly struggle with shame either, but the frustration of certain sins persisting in my life. For people who grasp the depth of God's grace and resist pietism, how can they practically put to death the misdeeds of the body? What are the applications of obedience?

How do you know if your worthy if you keep choosing it? How can I be saved if I can't do the right things?
