DO I SAY "NOTHING?" MAYBE . . .

"We can accept others as friends or family without approving of their life choices.

"I know for a fact that every Sunday I shake hands with men who have secretly been on websites they shouldn't be on, and yet I still accept them. I know there are women who greet me on Sunday morning just after gossiping about someone else.  (anger issues . . . drugs) You can have a relationship and still not approve of the choices this person makes. I have lots of friends who struggle with pride, and yet I haven't given up on them."

As For Me

"When he (the Holy Spirit) comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment . . ."  John 16:8  NIV

His Job--Not Mine.

Thank you!!

To be honest, I don't know what my part looks like. Not participating, for sure. But, do I never say anything about poor lifestyles or choices? Well, not without praying before (and after) doing so. And if God leads me to speak, it will certainly be from a place of love; and with an awareness of my own struggle with sins. For I'm more likely, then, to speak from a heart of compassion.

EverGrowing,
