you fools.

yesterday was so enriching. both the night session & evening sermon in church.

i pray our identity as Christians will not let Christ down.

of late i've been hampered by anger, angst. distaste, whatever. i dunno whether i'm being too critical judgmental or something, but just by seeing the behaviour/outlook/attitude/lives of my fellow Christians can make me feel like something just isn't right. i mean, if not corrected, then it'll not do God's glory any justice really. whats worse, these are obvious signs from the outside excuse me. If signs from the outside can be seen so clearly, how much more it reveals whats inside (for most cases). oh my goodness, now i ask whats stopping me from actually doing something about it. i may not know how to do so sensitively, tactfully. i may not be the best person to do it. the person has shown ignorance when corrected before. i may have blown a crater out of a pothole. my judgment may be entirely wrong. Then there's that big part of being very mindful of myself, not to think that i'm any better than anyone.

then again, much of the concern comes from zooming into the urgency factor. like hello, not young anymore, please don't be a stumbling block to the younger ones, rather, be a godly influence.

Acts 3:
17 Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.
19Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
20and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus.
22For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.
23Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people.

so i resort to prayer. pray that they may take heed from the Word of God; Jesus the prophet, enabling them to know how to be salt, & light. Man's sinful nature will not deter them from being taught, and accepting, thus living out holy & righteous lives.
