Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 193The Ravi Zacharias situation is a sober reminder to the body of Christ – we must not hide sin nor take sin and darkness lightly.In this episode, I talk about the sober warning God gave my soul this week as I heard the report of Ravi – but rather than focus on what he did, I want us to be reminded of what the Word of God says about living upright and holy lives.It is possible in the authority and grace of Jesus to walk in obedience and live holy, blameless lives – we are to walk in light as He is in the light – so let this be a sober warning and reminder to us all not to hide sin, but to expose it, repent, and to seek His face.-----------------View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/193/
