A few weeks ago I caught a raccoon that had been a real problem in our backyard. Here’s a pic of me trying to give him a new home.

 

 

Well, Saturday night we were out having smores in the backyard…and there he was on the wall. 

 

You ever have something like that in your life? Sure you do. We think we have some sin conquered and then it shows back up again.

 

Last time I tried to find the raccoon a new home, this time I might just put it underground. 

 

Romans 6 doesn’t talk about distancing ourselves from sin…it’s talk about putting to death our old life so that we can walk in a brand new one. (Romans 6:3-4)

 

Surrendering to Jesus isn’t about putting some safe distance between us and some bad habits. It’s about doing life, real life, in a whole new way.

 

What do you need to kill? That’s step one. Step two is finding the friend you trust enough to share your struggle.
