  • Reproving others

    As I was spot spraying weeds in my yard I also sprayed a couple feet into the neighbor’s yards. If I don’t then soon their weeds are growing through the fence onto my property. I have at times asked the neighbors if they wanted me to cut down saplings they have growing in their yards. I know if I do not do something the neighbors would allow the saplings to continue growing and soon be too much of a burden and cost to get rid of. It is so much easier and cheaper to keep up then to catch up.

    They simply don’t care, in which I do, so I must take action. As I thought upon it, I realized that is why we reprove those around us; we know that their life style of sin will encroach upon us. An example of this, the show Ellen Degenerate is a very popular show; it features a lesbian which often shares about her wife. Because many watch it, her show continues, causing many to be desensitized to the horrible sinful nature of homosexuality. Those that watch it are supporting it, they are showing they have no love for their fellow man. How could one say they love others and yet support sin? So it is up to us for those we care about, to point out what they are doing to others.

    Can one say they love their brother and support sin?

    Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

     1Jn 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

    1Jn 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

    Satan has enough help, we must live in a way we are NOT supporting sin.
