John chapter number nine, verse number 24, we're in a series called detox.

We're arguing that spiritual development requires spiritual detox.

If this is your first Sunday here, I want you to be aware of what's kind of about to happen.

I believe that it's possible for many of us to do two things at the same time.

One, we can honor the spiritual shaping that made us who we are.

We need to appreciate, we shouldn't disrespect, and we shouldn't disrespect what got us to where we are right now spiritually.

Somebody say amen to that.

Yet we also have to recognize that sometimes there's some bad stuff that got in through the good stuff.

And we need to be able to detox from that without throwing the whole faith away.

And that's kind of our heart on today.

And we've been arguing in this series that there are three primary areas.

We all need to consider allowing the Holy Spirit to help us detox.

One is a detox from legalism.

And we talked about that in week two, actually.

And that is what's called performative spirituality

is when the rules replace the relationship,

instead of you keeping the rules because of your love for the relationship.

It gets us out of tap dance in spirituality which wears you out.

It's a heavy yoke where you're trying to earn something that you can only inherit because of your identity as a son of the father.

Does that make sense?

And then last week, and we're going to continue this this week, we talked about

narcissism, which replaces self as the sinner and not the Savior.
