#58 - Joby Martin // Sin Is Not a Pet, It's an Apex Predator
Manage episode 472568351 series 3625879
Being a Christian means more than simply managing sin or distinguishing between right and wrong—it means following the Good Shepherd whose path leads to life rather than destruction.
• Jesus identifies himself as the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep and whose sheep know Him
• Following Mary's advice to "do whatever He tells you to do" is the essence of discipleship
• Christian life isn't just about right vs wrong but about paths leading to either life or death
• Obeying the world, the flesh, or the devil leads to destruction
• Following the Good Shepherd—even when we don't understand—leads to abundant life
• Financial generosity toward gospel kingdom work opens the door to God's blessing
• Tolerated sin is an "apex predator" waiting to destroy you, not a pet to be managed
• Pornography, workplace affairs, and dishonesty aren't just mistakes but deadly traps
• Every step of obedience toward the Good Shepherd leads to abundant life
• Your direction, not your intention, determines your destination
• No matter your current path, repentance allows you to turn toward the Shepherd
