Again, here i sit.
Thank you to those who commented on my last post. I appreciate the comments, although all out logical advice was not what was needed. The blog was meant more to reflect inner thoughts than to plea to be told that to fall is human, i... and we... all know that well enough as it is.
We had a lesson in Benson the other day that i really enjoyed teaching, and enjoyed being taught by God. Walking the fine line between approval and disassociation. Meaning, that when we are trying to be Christ like, we cannot approve of sin, but we cannot completely cut ourselves off from "sinners". The contrast between Jesus eating with tax collectors, drunks, and prostitutes... and Saul holding the cloths of those who stoned Stephen, was shown to me as the best way to approach the subject. While Christ came to the people on their level, in love, He never showed approval for the sin in which they lived. But Saul clearly showed his blessing and approval on those that killed Stephen.
We must love people where they are at, we must do all we can to reach them for Christ. (and sometimes this takes a long time, huh?) But at the same time we cannot show approval of the sin. Once again, love is what it all comes down to.
Like i said, i enjoyed being taught that, and passing it on.
Break has started, i am hoping things go well. I would appreciate prayer if you are willing. Thanks for reading.
Heath
