Some might call me a hard nose...or tell me that I live in a grey world, but think in black & white, but that's okay. Whatthey think of me isn't necessarily what He thinks of me...He's the only one I worry about pleasing.
Bo, remember the song I had stuck in my head a few days ago?
How could I forget!
YouTube - Whatever Happened To Sin? - Steve Taylor |
What was on my heart when I started this thread would be a deep and abiding pain I feel for those who claim Christ but have no intention of repenting or changing their lives. These are the tares that grow side by side with the wheat. They are self deceived and on a bad road yet deep inside I know that God loves them too. He has payed a great price to redeem them and yet unless they change their hearts their future is surely a bleak thing. If I coddle such a person and I deny God's Word to appease them it is akin to causing them great harm.
