That's just it, we use the wrong measure. And we don't even know how to measure!!I find it very sad that the legalistic bunch... compare themselves to the likes of the drunk up the street for their measure of being good.... when in all reality... we need to be comparing ourselves to the measure of CHRIST... I think that would dramatically reduce the I'm so good attitude found in so many score keeping believers.... My little thoughts for the day. LOL
As if! As if we understood ourselves well enough to even know when we are and are not dipping our toes in the flesh, much less just diving in.
People talk so much about committing sins, but the real issue to me is where is my life right now coming from? Forget about describing and judging behaviors, by the time we've progressed to behavior, that's the jumping off the high dive.
What about when we are feeling superior to the guy who just replied to our post? Who feels guilty for that? Who declares themself sinful? What about when we are NOT actively loving others? NOT actively, with all the heart and soul and mind and strength, loving God?
Isn't failing to have love and worship for God right now a greater failing than anything else??
Much love!
