Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
September 21st, 2006 · Posted in God Stuff ·Mark, a friend from uni, recently wrote this blog entry: Willingness to Change.
He gives a few (very real sounding) examples and then this:
Compromise starts with one step in the wrong direction. But where does compromise end? In the act of trying to ignore God’s prompting, and ignoring your own conscience, what happens to your heart or your spirit?
How long do you need to be nagged before repenting?
If you know something is sin but refuse to stop, are you mocking Christ’s death?
Is struggling with sin and losing the same as wilful sin?
What’s the difference?
Many questions, and they all hit close to home.
Another friend pointed out that as we mature as Christians it often feels like we are sinning more often (and this can be extremely discouraging), when we are just more aware of the sin in our lives.
Things to consider.

True. I had never considered that before, but that does fit. I guess that follows on with the idea that God doesn’t let us go through things that, by clinging to Him, we can’t handle.
God is good, and
He knows where we’re at.
