daily prayer

     Good morning! How are we faithing? I see more and more stories about Christians condemning people for this or that sin. While recognizing sin and informing others about it may be pertinant, our job as we've talked about before is not to condemn the person but the action in question.  I saw some photos of protesters for and against an issue and both have every right to protest pro and con for any issue, after all, this is America.  I also saw both sides of the issue pointing fingers and hurling gross names at each other. Neither is right and yours or my side doesn't matter. When you or I develop disdain for another human over an issue we have stepped out of the grace of God and into an area where one couldn't tell good from bad. It would all seem ridiculous from a disinterested party. We as a society do have to be concerned over an action that is considered evil and laws must be enforced in order to live in a safe environment, we do indeed reap what we sow but we have got to stop dismissing people and not sharing Jesus because of a sin committed. Jesus told us to pray for our enemies. Enemies may not mean a war like footing but anytime two are opposing over any issue, that is an enemy. Has a Christlike love ceased because of an infraction? It better not! All have fallen short. We must don that Christlike demeanor of forgiveness and love. Please understand that Jesus knows when you have been hurt badly and understands the struggle to forgive heinous acts against you but the forgiveness rule still applies so seek out God however you need to in order to forgive. Remember;


 Rom 8:1-4
  Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus.   For the Spirit's law of life in the Messiah Jesus has set me free from the Law of sin and death.   For what the Law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did. By sending his own Son in the form of humanity, he condemned sin by being incarnate,   so that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to human nature but according to the Spirit. 




remember the lost....
