The Christian life is a war. If you are in Christ, you are engaged in mortal combat with unrelenting enemies whose mission it is to mangle your soul. Perhaps you have been losing in your battle against sin and temptation. Maybe there is a beloved sin that you have nurtured for far too long. You might be entangled in sexually immoral sin, gluttony, drunkenness, covetousness, anxiety, fear, worry, sinful anger, ungodly speech, the fear of man, bulimia, drug abuse, gossip, slander, bitterness, unforgiveness, etc. and unsure about how to overcome it.
This class is a basic-training course to refresh you in the skills and strategies necessary to help you defeat sin, or encourage another in his or her battle. The goals of this class are to:
-
Develop a biblical strategy for overcoming any sin that you face.
-
Understand the biblical process of sanctification as outlined in the Scriptures.
-
Analyze certain sins and illustrate how to overcome them by applying the process outlined in the course.
-
Define and describe true repentance over against remorse.
-
Provide a summarized outline that you can recall to use when tempted.
-
Establish a foundation upon which a Biblical Counseling class that follows will build.
