Do we truly understand the ramifications of our sin? As Pastor Ed shares in his message, many biblical figures found that sin pushed the Holy Spirit away. Just as Saul and Joshua experienced this situation, we should be wary of trying to go forward in our lives without the blessing and presence of God. Sins that we try to hide will be a stumbling block in our growing relationship with Christ and must be repented of to have the most productive and open communication with our Heavenly Father.
