Once sin creeps its way into your life, it’s hard to turn…
““Once sin creeps its way into your life, it’s hard to turn around. You can’t pull yourself back up on your own, and certainly not while you’re surrounded by people who are helping you dig the hole. This is why we all need Christ. We can’t do it on our own. I can’t do it on my own, and that’s why I’ve devoted my life to serving God, or at least trying to. I need Him. Michael Sweet can’t do this alone. And in 1990, I needed God more than ever to help pull me out of the abyss—but in order for that to happen, I needed to make some drastic changes. God will only help you if you’re willing to yield to Him and turn your life around.””
