The story behind the song "No Turning Back"

“No Turning Back” touches on that one area of life that always seems to pull us away from God and back to sin. Our society has taught us to value and embrace tolerance, but tolerance also enables us to justify falling into the habits and addictions that we have once struggled with. The song is about drawing a line in the sand to say, “I will never allow this to come back into my life, and I will vehemently defend that decision.” Freedom always follows.

Check out "No Turning Back" on The Playlist to the right and then click the picture above to check it out in iTunes.

Encouragement from Josh Wilson

I have a terrible memory. Seriously. Ask any of my friends. They'll tell you that I can barely remember what I ate for my last meal, much less remember where I was or what I did last month.

I have noticed a lot of similarities between the Israelites and myself in the memory department. Throughout Israel's history, God shows His power over and over again to His people, and over and over they forget what He has done. God specifically tells the Israelites to "Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you" (Deut. 15:15), yet they quickly forgot and "grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness," saying "Would that we had died by the Lord's hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full" (Ex. 16:2-3). Because they were hungry right then they couldn't bring themselves to remember what the Lord had already done for them.

So often I also forget the good things God has done. Thankfully, God's memory is infinitely better than mine, and despite my own forgetfulness, God has remembered "my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember" (Lev. 26:42).
