This is really good. I too am guilty to having knee jerk reactions to bad behavior.

[amclaughlin]

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS! I've seen people turn away from Jesus because of other people's reactions to their sins. I understand that we are all human and we fail God daily. However, as Christians, we are supposed to be representing Christ daily. Someone may be struggling in their faith walk or don't know him at all. You could be the only representative of Jesus that person ever meets. It takes a lot of courage to say your sins out loud, especially to another person. If you react in an immature way, that's how they think God is going to react to them. Be kind, be humble, be like Jesus.

Thank you. I needed this message. Pray for me friends. I want to mature. I want to not sin. I want to please God. I have a way to go for sure. ❤

[hazellazuli]

yeah guilty but striving to be spiritually matured😭🙏

[kaleid]

I don’t like this shaking going on in my life right now 😢 but I know I need it. I’m so grateful that God never will leave me ❤️.

[TheSavageTruth-ki]

Yes. I am working on this myself. I disappoint myself every time I start to think or sound self-righteous. It does take time and it takes prayer. And hard work. Focusing on the moment and taking a moment to just listen and not think anything. It's hard. Hallelujah 🙌 praise God

As Jesus said...

"Remove the log out of your own eye before the speck in your brother's eye."

[HTCvideos]

I’m guilty of that with my best friend and pointing out things he does. Talk about a splinter in his eye and a plank in my own. What some would call revelation anxiety as I just re-committed back to Christ fully

[deirdrejosovitz]

Wow. This is so rare. Beautiful.
Need more of this in the Church.

[sklk]

In Islam we have this saying :"hate the sin, not the sinner". I send my peace to you both.

[ASTARR]

I've heard The Lord say- STOP BURYING SIN. Soooo there needs to be some exhortation. Doesn't mean believers shun them.

[edwindiaz]

SOMETIMES GOD REMINDS ME SON IF I WASN'T PACIENCE WITH YOU SON WERE WOULD YOU 💕 BE. AND I SAY. DONT SAY NO MORE LORD. UNLEST I'M SENT TO GIVE A MESSAGE. GOD AS LONG IF YOU WOKE THAT PERSON UP IN THE MORNING THERES HOPE. PLACE YOUESELF IN THE PERSON SHOES I AM A LATE BLUMMER JESUS THANK YOU FOR BEING MERCIFUL TO ME YOU COULD HAVE EASALY GAVE UP ON ME.

[cornelia-wphj]

Just wondering. Is it a sign of not being mature when I've decided to block contact with a person after repetively being used by her and decided that for my own peace of mind I can't have this person in my life anymore?

[irishhazelp]

True bc then how will we be able to reach the lost? How will we be able to share Christ crucified if we are always offended by others' sins?

[Elizabeth-qoom]

We treat everyone with love, walk in love. Be quick to listen, slow to speak. Osas is wrong. Bad behavior corrupts good character, do not throw your pearls to swine. Or they will trample you underfoot. Protect your relationship w God, He has to be #1. Love everyone but stay away from compulsive sinners, who try to hinder your walk and put you down mocking your relationship w God. Pray for everyone, but surround yourself w on fire Christ followers.

[magzlomeli]

It's been shocking to me, to witness "believers" when they completely fall apart when a loved one passes. Do you believe in the promise or not?

[sotl]

If you respond with fear it is a sign that you are not confident.
Christ is the solution for sin. If you've experienced His healing power, you can have confidence that He can swallow up others sin as well.
All you have to do is forgive and love, and point people to Christ.

[sherbetstraw]

Good word! Can I humbly and enthusiastically suggest you look into colour palettes (seasons)?! That red top isn’t doing you justice! Love from a fan! X

[m.a.d.]

Actually it's called minding your own business. I've never thought I was entitled to have an opinion of someone else's lives. That's what's wrong with have of you. Worry about your side of the street and make sure your house is in order.
