Posted by elizabethcog , 19 June 2012 · 1917 views

Let's see, if I can find me a sinner one caught red handed right smack dab in the middle of it.It probably wouldn't take long and I wouldn'thave to look far I bet(like not even past myself)Okay let's say you might like to join me and maybe along the way others will notice us and how right we are to put a stop to this sinner so we might just have us alot of followers in a bit.Our rightousness will really be growing as more and more join to "help' this poor sinner.Well sure ole sinner is embarrased but hey that's ok right we mean good here!Now we gotta find us a judge that can condemn this sinner so we will be glorified.........lookin...................still lookin.............surely someone..................well gimme a little time,stay tuned here I'll be back.....well it sure didn't take long to find my sinner.............whose gonna judge my sinner.....Can it be this hard to find one who is without sin????? to be cont......

I should be clear I guess,of course this is made up but didn't this really happen many times in the Bible.We (I also unfortunately) are so quick to judge and even condemn.Thank you God for your mercy and for your one and only perfect sinless Son.We are not saved by anything we can do on our own.How often do we hear of someones falling and think how bad it is,I love the story about the woman caught in her sin of adultery and all those so rightousness folks that took her out to be condemned,but Jesus saw something different and challenged them if there were any without sin they could stone her,Jesus wrote in the sand and when He looked up they were gone.Does no one condemn you He asked her,no not one she told him.Jesus told her neither does he now go and stop your sinning.His love and mercy is sufficient for us,Love god and love your neighbor as yourself,I pray to let His glory be revealed,peace and love in Christ=D

This is a little off topic but something I wrestled with concerning sin. I don't have trouble knowing I am but a filthy rag without my Savior, and I have gifts that He has given me that I am so grateful for; but regarding pretty "good/happy" unbelievers I still fall short in explaining why they need God. When people make themselves god they have no concept of getting their self worth from somewhere other then through their accomplishments and the recognition they get from friends, family, and society. And second how do I live up to the perfection I'm supposed to possess as a Christian?

I can tell them I'm not perfect just forgiven but that's been used so much it's worldly. I can cringe and ask forgiveness when I sin or fall short but that doesn't mean I've left a Godly impression. How can I be meek and gentle in spirit but still bold to proclaim the Truth?

I know it all comes back to trusting God and letting Him work through me. When you get right down to it my purpose for being here is to Glorify my Lord, He does the winning of souls.

I too struggle with this but then I just use God's word which is far better than any I could come up with.I fall way short on my own efforts and at some point we have to just trust God with knowing those who are his,I think that is in 2Timothy=)
