Helmet of Reverence

True recovery begins with a right view of God’s holiness and an honest view of our sin. Until we see God as He really is, we will never see ourselves as we really are. Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up and cried, “Woe is me!” Cultural recovery often says, “You are sick.” Scripture says we are dead in sin and hostile to God — guilty of cosmic treason, not mere mistakes.

The Helmet of Reverence protects the mind so you can look at your sin without being crushed by it, because you look in light of a holy God who has already provided a Savior. This week write a comprehensive moral inventory using biblical categories — the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, and 1 John 2:16. Be ruthlessly honest. This is not about shame. This is about truth.
