Response Ability
Today’s Audio Devotion:
Response Ability
Responsibility is “response ability.” That is, we can avoid sin if we choose the right response. The apostle Paul recounted Israel’s history in the wilderness as a warning to the church at Corinth (1 Corinthians 10:1-11). The Israelites failed to respond to God appropriately, and God judged them. And Paul says that their judgment should be an example for us (verses 6, 11). The tests they encountered in the wilderness became temptations to sin—and they did.
But tests and temptations are “common to man”—we will always encounter them. So what is the remedy? With every temptation, God provides a “way of escape” so that we can avoid sin. It is our responsibility to find and take the way of escape that will allow us to bear the test successfully. It is important that we cultivate our “response ability” through prayer and meditating upon God’s Word.
Our first step is obedience: “Depart from evil” (Proverbs 3:7) and “flee” from temptation by pursuing “righteousness” (2 Timothy 2:22).
He who avoids the temptation avoids the sin.

This is episode nine from The Account, an original Turning Point Television production that was created to introduce David Jeremiah's teaching series I Never Thought I'd See the Day! Its message remains relevant for us as we are Living in the Age of Signs.
The Account takes you back to the 1960's when the advertising agency of Wyndham Ridgestone landed the most mysterious client in the history of their firm. This shadowy and intimidating Client hires the firm to influence the masses—to sway the behavior of people toward a liberal mindset—to market a moral shift in American culture. The faceless and nameless Client presents ten issues to the advertising firm and employs it to create these morally destructive campaigns.
