A Winner Gets Back Up

In this week's episode, we looked at the power of getting back up when we fall short of the glory of God. Teens are informed that on their Christian journey they will fall in sin one way or another because we were born in sin and shaped in iniquity (Psalm 51:5). However, they are encouraged not to stay in sin but to get back up and allow the Lord to make them clean.The problem is not falling into sin as it is in refusing to get up. Many teens in the past did not understand the loving nature of God to restore them and so as soon as they fell into sin, they walked away from God thinking God no longer wants them. But this is not so. Jesus' arms are always wide open to receive those who wish to return to Him.Teens are encouraged not to make sin a habit or to continue sinning because of the knowledge of the love of Christ. God's mercy and love should keep us living right and not be a license for us to keep sinning. A very powerful and insightful topic this week, as the host shares some of her personal experiences of falling as a teenager. These examples are to bring hope and encouragement, not to condemn.As you listen in, I pray this is a blessing to you. And if it is, please feel free to like, follow and share the podcast with family and friends. Until next time, this is the Polymath podcast with Ms. Neisha. I'll see you on the other side.
