Episode Synopsis

We have been shown clearly that moral reform apart from Christ sets us up for a dangerous deception that makes us worse off than we started. External change leaves us empty and vulnerable to the enemy. The only way to achieve victory in the long war on sin is to expel it with the superior power of affection for Christ. Christian, if Christ has touched you, then you have eyes to see and a mouth to speak. The glory of the Lord has filled you to overflowing and you are able to see sin for the irrational corruption that it is. If this is not yet true of you, then if you pray that Christ would open your eyes, He most certainly will. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, so call out and find peace. This peace finds its most natural expression in the family of God, as we follow our older Brother in the worship of our Father.
