How Dead People Do Battle with Sin

I read, I read a lot. I read C. J. Mahaney, John Piper and Al Mohler's blogs. I read Ed Welsh, Paul Tripp and David Powlison. I read F. B. Myer, John Owen and Charles Spurgeon. I am quickly coming to the conclusion that my blog is a waste of time. It would be better to read them than to read anything I write.

Here is a great example. Below is a link to a Piper article entitled,

How Dead People Do Battle with Sin:

I HIGHLY recommend it. Here is an appetizer:

How do dead people do battle with sin? They do battle with sin by trusting the Son of God. They are dead to Satan's lie, which goes like this: 'You will be happier if you trust your own ideas about how to be happy instead of trusting the counsel and the promises of Christ." Christians have died to that deceit. So the way they fight Satan is by trusting that the paths and promises of Christ are better than Satan's.
