The You're going to do you.

Do you do you do you do you do

do you do We live in a culture that has become increasingly desensitized to sin and as a result it is easy for any of us to slip into ungodly behavior.

So how can Christians resist the enticement to return to what we once were and what we used to do.

We'll hear the answer today on Truth for Life.

Alistairbegg is teaching from the book of Ephesians in chapter 4.

We're looking at verses 17 through 19.

Can I ask you this morning?

If you were coming for a membership interview here at

Parkside Church and you came to the question on the paper, he says and tell me how

you became a Christian.

What would you actually write down there?

Would you say, well, you know, for the longest time I listened to that stuff,

but I had never tasted it.

But in such and such a day or in such in such a period of my life, I suddenly got it. I tasted and I saw that the Lord was good. Would you be able to write down and say, you know, I was actually, I was in the

grip of stuff that I could not get out of? I was in the grip of my ego, I was in the

grip of my sinful propensities, I was in the grip of my ego, I was in the grip of my sinful propensities, I was in the grip of my own

security, whatever it was, and I was just trapped in it. And then I realized that

Jesus came to rescue me. In fact, you might even say, we sang a song one morning

when I was lost, you came and rescued me, reached down into the pit and lifted me.

Oh God!

And you might say that was it.
