Episode notes
The Human Dilemma
- Humanity hungers for its original purpose: perfection, fellowship, and glory.
- Sin, inherited from the Fall, prevents us from achieving this, leaving us broken and enslaved.
False Solutions
- The world offers false solutions to our brokenness, such as focusing on strengths, normalizing sin, or reclassifying it.
- These ultimately fail because they don't address the root issue of our sin nature.
Sin as an Exotic Pet
- Suzy Silk uses the analogy of exotic pets like tigers and snakes to illustrate the deceptive nature of sin.
- We may think we can control it when it's small, but it grows and consumes us if left unchecked.
