This past week
the results of months of documentation
came to a close
and we found out
that a man revered in the Christian faith
had fallen.
It all came out after he died
but it would seem like for many
a gigantic dump truck of trash
came and unloaded its contents
at our door.
Such grief
sadness
confusion
concern for all those directly involved,
family, victims
and the many many that had
heard, spoken to
and perhaps even placed this man on a personal pedestal.
What does it say?
First of all it says we're ALL human
and BUT FOR THE GRACE of God
there go I!
Ask yourself how this affected you?
Did you want to dive in to the details...
thirsty for the "more"?
Did you weep?
Did you stand in unbelief?
Did you become self righteous or
did you fall on your knees,
calling out to God for mercy?
Is anyone safe?
Can anyone stand?
Is there no one righteous ..
not even one?
Many prayers have been raised of late asking for exposure.
The Scripture says to be sure
that your sin will find you out
Numbers 32:23
It says also
that judgement will begin in the Church
1 Peter 4:17
Heres what I do know:
We are not powerless against sin.
We stand without excuse.
We must discipline ourselves to Godliness.
Christ's Grace is sufficient...
Giving us the ability to say no.
I could go on and on
and
perhaps you should!
Find the scripture references for the above
and then talk to the Lord
about this
and tell me what He has to say
My recommendation?
WALK CLOSE TO THE MASTER
AND DO NOT BECOME WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES
BLESSINGS
