Escape to Reality

In this audio talk, David Powlison looks at the types of addictions that tempt mankind, from the perspective of 1 Corinthians 10:13–14. This passage points us to humanity’s innate commonality; everyone is prone to the temptations that lead to addictive behaviors, and this reality should guide our understanding of all addictive struggles. Powlison maintains that right along with the temptation is the promise God will provide the way of escape, and the ability to endure the temptation. So, how do you flee from addictive temptations? He concludes that we escape by being awake, sober, and increasingly wise.
