Yesterday was a tough day.
A family I love experienced something very discouraging.
I can’t go into any detail but I will ask you to do all you can to persuade people away from ungodly behavior.
Even if they say they don’t want to hear your thoughts, at least offer it them to the extent that you can so that you aren’t burdened with the guilt of wishing you’d spoken up before an explosion of consequences occurred.
Interestingly, the passage below was part of today’s One-Year Bible reading:
“Doing wrong leads to disgrace, and scandalous behavior brings contempt.” (Proverbs 18:3)
This passage was given by God to King Solomon as a warning to people claiming to have faith. It was, in effect, a warning to believers.
It still applies today.
When Satan’s lures appear tasty and so secret, PLEASE remember that they are poison intended to humiliate and destroy us AND wound and disgrace all those who love us.
Live like Jesus.
The alternative is just too costly.
As always, I love you
Martin
