Before change comes before repentance is accepted one must acknowledge they are doing wrong. As that famous saying goes the first step is acknowledging there is a problem. As my wife and I were doing our house cleaning this morning this came to my mind, so I wanted to share it.
How can so many be against so much and yet be part of the problem?
When we become desensitized to sin we allow it to grow, because it no longer offends us, when we participate in that sin we encourage it to grow.
How many of us have seen these poor people that have lost all through gambling, and yet we gamble, a lotto ticket or just a quick visit to the gambling casinos. Do we watch those shows that should not be watched, such as Ellen and yet we know by the word homosexuality is evil? When we watch those shows which should not be watched we are becoming desensitized and encouraging that sin to grow. If we don’t accept our blame we will NEVER grow, we will continue being lukewarm and as the word tells us, we will be spit out. Do we wonder as if some strange thing happens when our children act out; do we not accept the blame? Children act according to the examples set in their life, by those examples the friends they will make will feed into them even more, of good or evil.
Little compromises are magnified in the world and through the eyes of others, let us cast off all appearance of evil.
