Whirlwind- You are blessed!
It is definitely a wonderful gift to find yourself wanting, above all else, to please God. To strive for perfection in His eyes, not because you're fearful or scrupulous, but because you can't imagine not pleasing Him. That is love!

Living in the Light, we come to know what sin is. We're driven from it, for fear of displeasing Him. We are transparent before God, He sees all things inside of us and out.

We're His children. It's an honor to worship and to ask Him to forgive.
All true but it still does not fit the topic D. That topic covering those who claim the light yet shun it's every truth for the convenience of their very flesh. Claiming to be Christian and at the same time denying the Word of God where it does not fit your lifestyle is insanity and confusion.
Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Yeah, andiclare - that's the peace we find in his Word. I can sense it in your own words, too.

So back to the topic. One cannot deliberately and purposefully live in defiance of the Word of God and expect anything good. To encourage someone to do that is jeopardizing their eternity, I have not the heart to do that.

To deny God's Word is to deny life itself.

Amen!

This is also one of my pet peeves...people justifying their sin.

My friends family members who know better try to do this (sometimes I catch myself doing this too)...I don't even point it out to them...they just seem to need to defend what they are doing...conviction is what it is.

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.
