I heard about the T. D. Jakes thing and it made we question my Christianity.
I know from my studies that Jesus didn’t spend time with the church of his day unless he was teaching and the Bible gives us only one account of that instance. The other time was in anger and the other was to watch the offering service. Most of his time on earth he did the opposite of what the “church of his day” allowed. He healed on the Sabbath. He hung out with the scorned, dregs of the community.
When I hear about the people who teach, preach and profess Christ being maligned, I always wonder how the church of today would see Jesus. I for one would have to just watch and see if the Spirit of God is made manifest. I would like to believe that the spirit in me would know him because I call him friend.
I always remember “Judge not lest ye be judged” but every one seems to forget that we set the measure of how we are judge and forgiven by the one in whom we profess belief.
No man can rightfully point the finger at anyone because their sin is something we wouldn’t do. Heaven doesn’t judge on a curve, sin is sin.
I strive to err in the side of what is right by my understanding of scripture. It’s how I choose to live my life. Pray for those you believe have fallen into the practice of sin. Keep your mouth from uttering slander and always remember: “Let the one who is completely without sin, cast the first stone.”
Apologies for any and all typos.
I have to do this earlier in my day
