Welcome to this weekend's In-Touch Podcast with Charles Stanley.

Once you trust in Christ for forgiveness, you are freed from the power and penalty of sin.

So, do you wonder why it's so hard to make God-honoring choices?

Think about who's really in charge of your life, as today's podcast continues exploring, the truth about sin.

We hear a lot today about rights, and there is a spirit of independence that prevails in our society

where some people or some groups of people want to live to themselves and have their own thing and act independently of and exclusively of other people.

But when you open the Word of God, you don't find any of that.

But rather, the fact that we had depended upon each other.

And when it comes to rights, you don't find in the Bible where God says you are to exercise your rights here and your rights there.

And you don't find that in the Word of God.

And I want you to open your heart today and listen to what God has to say.

And see if you are willing to be open and honest about an issue that all of us have to deal with every day of our life.

We've talked about the character of sin and God's answer to the problem of sin in our life.

But what is the ultimate question when it comes to sin?

The ultimate question is very simple.

And to put it in today's link, oh, this is it.

Who is going to be the boss in your life?

That's what the whole question of sin is all about.

Who's going to be the boss?

Because you see, in essence, sin is acting independently of and exclusive of the will of God.

And anytime you and I are to make a decision in our life, we make it independently of God exclusive of Him and His will.

We decide we're going to do our own thing.
