Be lead by the Holy Spirit. If what you are doing is stumbling others
then don't do it. I have things that I don't feel is wrong but choose
not to do them because it could cause others to stumble. Yes our Church
is full of hypocrites and yes there is room for one more. It is the Holy
Spirits Job to convict and reprove.
Let's let God do his work and get back to building up one another.
Col 2: 7-18. Jesus canceled the old law. He rendered it null and void.
We couldn't live up to it then and we can't live up to it now. Only by
the Blood of Jesus and the Grace of God and the work of the Holy Spirit
in our lives can we ever live up to the standards of a Godly life. Please
take notice the 3 conditions are already there. We can only repent daily
and die to our flesh. God is Good and for this sinner he is the only
way.
WWJD. If he was given a lottery ticket I feel he would have scratched it
and given it to futherence of his kingdom.
Our life here on this earth is full of sin. Every dollar we make has
some tint of sin in it. One could take this tainted meat and sit and
belly ache and stop all kinds of Godly work. Be lead by the Holy Spirit.
Mark Jones, Just a sinner saved by the Blood of Christ and God's Loving
Grace.
