CONTENT

People hide things in the dark. The thief does not like somebody turning
on the light. Someone committing adultery does not like someone turning
on the light.

Turning on the light is exposing sin, not hiding it. Be honest. Don't
try to find some excuse for your sin.

You'll never overcome it. I tell you this, every sin for which you find
some excuse, because it was this, I did it. Because of that, I did it.

I guarantee you'll never overcome it, because you're not coming into the
light. You're not being absolutely honest that you just gave in to that
lust, whether it's anger or bitterness or theft or stealing or wrong
attitude or gossiping or whatever it is, name it, adultery, dirty
thoughts, whatever it is, be honest.
