Overview

Bible teacher and acclaimed spoken-word artist David Bowden reveals the secret to winning the battle with sin.

Many Christians believe the only way to fight sin is to grit our teeth, strengthen our resolve, and rise above the onslaught of temptation. But in reality, we have a far better weapon in our struggle with sin than the will-power mantras associated with diet and exercise. This weapon is not saying “no” to sin but saying “yes” to God. In Rewire Your Heart, David Bowden helps us discover God’s plan to overcoming sin by rewiring our desires with the Gospel. When we invite the Holy Spirit to transform our underlying affections with the good news of Jesus, we begin to break free from the patterns of sin, guilt, and determination, and discover the richer fulfillment found in joyfully obeying God’s commands.

“When you see the fruit of sin on the branches of your life, plucking it off will not be a sufficient solution. You must address the wants and affections inside you that brought it about. This is God’s solution in Jesus. He gives us the most captivating picture of his glory in Christ (2 Cor. 3:18; Col. 1:19; Heb. 1:3) and changes our hearts to be captivated by this image through the power of his Spirit (Ezek. 36:26; John 15:26; 1 Cor. 2:10; 2 Cor. 3:17).” (source)

“Jesus perfectly finished the picture when the painter first trusted him. That has always been all the painter needed to enter heaven and please his maker. Nothing he could do would hurt the painting or make it less valuable. Yet his whole life he had been freed, not to add to or take away from the finished work of Jesus, but to apply that work to his own life.” (source)

“Your real sin problem is not one specific sin, but your desire for sin itself.” (source)

“Our actions are inexorably linked to our deepest wants.” (source)
