A practical objectivity

We need to start living by acknowledging that certain things are objectively true. Contrary to the typical sentimentality of modern American evangelicalism,  God actually is king of the world, Satan has actually been defeated and Jesus actually died for the sins of all men.
What does this practically mean?  It means that when we sin, we are rejecting the leadership of God,  we are following a defeated rebel and we are submitting to sin that genuinely has no power over us. We sin, practically speaking, because we want to. No one is forcing us. No one can make us sin. Forced sin is not sin.
We far too often fall down and wallow in our sin because we don't make use of the tools that God has given us for our sanctification.  Prayer,  confession,  repentance, worship,  and the sacraments.
