REPOST: Take Responsibility


As Christians we are suppose to be different from the world. We are not supposed to act the way the world does. We are not supposed to react the way the world does when things do not go our way.

As along as we are here in this world full of sin we may fall but we must not make a practice of ignoring the Holy Spirit in us and sin because we know that God will continue to forgive us. God has called us to be holy. He never tells us to do something that He himself will not equip us to do.

Do not ignore your sin. Take responsibility for your actions. Don’t try to blame it on the devil all the time. He can only be blamed for trying to influence us. He does not control us any longer. So that your prayers will continue to be answered, learn to quickly repent and ask forgiveness from God and from those you may have hurt or offended. Constantly evaluate yourself. Ask God to examine your heart and motives. Our heavenly Father will be faithful to lovingly show us areas of immediate concern that He would like us to submit to Him.

Others are constantly looking at us and trying to determine are we really different. The way we present ourselves will either positively or negatively affect those around us who may be searching for the Truth.

What will they say when they see you Christian. Will they see the fruit of the Spirit in your life? Will they see love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control? What about the ones that know the real you? What fruit does your family see?

May our Lord Jesus help us to walk in love and be a light in this dark world. Amen.

Galatians 5:16-23, Romans Chapters 6-8 Explains how we are free from the power of sin.

My God is Faithful!

My God is Faithful!
Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.He lifted me out of the slimy pit,out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
