Sin & judgement

-
    As a Christian, you must get to the point that you hate sin. Sin must become a disgust. Why? First, it's the reason Jesus came back- to save the world from sin. Second, if you don't hate it, then you will find yourself constantly in some sort of sin. Third, you can't be okay with some sins and let others go. You must understand that sin is sin and you must hate ALL sin. (The sin you don't hate may be the sin you end up in or open a door for some other sin.)

    Notice I did not say to hate anyone (a person who is the sinner). We would then have to hate our own selves because we are all sinners. This come from God Himself, He said if we say we have no sin, we are liars and the truth is not in us. Truth of the matter is, we have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23)

     So why bother, why hate sin? Because we are told not to live sinful lives. Where sin abounds, grace much more abound (Romans 5:20). We all have the power to overcome sin. Yes, a righteous person may fall, but he/she gets back up and quick! God knows the heart. That's why we should have a heart as David did, "Lord I have written your commands on my heart so that I might not sin against You."(Psalm 119:11)

     It's not that we live a life that is sinless, but it does mean that we sin less (a whole lot less)- to the point that, we're not even struggling with "big sins" anymore. So Christian, don't let anyone discourage you from calling out sin if you know your heart is to please God. Judge! Just know that with the same measure that you judge, you'll also be judged (Matt 7:2). You should also judge based on a righteous judgement, not based on your own opinion, but on the Word of God. 

     Lastly, if you have sinned against God and have truly repented for that sin, yet you still have evidence of your sin (a baby, disease, bankruptcy, etc...) don't let anyone (Christian or otherwise) down you because of that. It just shows that they don't know the Word of God. You had a baby, now teach the child the Word of God so they don't make the same mistake. Run on Christian, because you're not running for an earthly crown, but heavenly crown. So, don't be a people pleaser, be a God-pleaser.

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  Proverbs 22:6 KJV      One of the most exciting and scariest things that has happened to me in the past year is that I have became a parent. Parents are very important people, they are the backbone of a nation. Why? A nation is full of children who need guidance and the parents are the ones who steer their children in the way that they go (whether good or bad). When you realize what great task this is, it'll bring upon an excitement, but it's also normal to feel a little apprehension. It's exciting because God has entrusted this soul into your hands to lead, nurture, and guide. It's a little scary for that same reason- me, leading a soul? but that's why He gives us instructions - He tells us to raise them in the way that they should go.      One day I was talking with someone and we were having a discussion on parenting and how to raise our children. The pe...

Fall Back

-
A song by LeCrae that puts emphasis on how we are sometimes influenced by the world. Media (social and entertainment) has a very big impact on how we live our lives whether we realize it or not. It plays a bigger role in our decision making process than we care to admit.  If you think about it, most Christians spend more time watching television and listening to music than spending time in their bible, so it's really not surprising that the church is beginning to look more and more like the world. *I took some of the lyrics out to put emphasis on some parts. It's a great song!  Fall Back Lecrae ft. Trip Lee Chorus:  I know you might a seen on the TV You hear on the radio and CD(fall back) But you can be deceived pretty easy Believe me... you might wanna (fall back) The enemy crafty and misleading That's why I use the word of God to Lead me And I ain't eating everything they feed me Tryna deceive me... so I gotta fall back [Verse 1: LeCrae] Lies in them songs lies on tel...

Freedom

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. “And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. (John 8:32-36 NKJV) We are free because we know this truth -Jesus came so that we may be free from sin. When we grasp this truth, we are set free. We are no longer slaves that are bound to sin, but through grace we are made sons and daughters of God. We are free from bondage. We no longer are slaves to homosexuality, fornication, adultery, back-biting, impure thoughts, disobedience, hopelessness, and the list goes on. We are now ambassadors for Christ. Who the Son sets free is free indeed- to do a work that will bring glory to His name.
