Let your light so shine...

Why do I feel horrible, empty, and drained? Everything inside has diminished to no value.  Just the fact that I’m including the word “Feel” is defeating.  I don't want to die, but I don't want to live.  I don't want to wake, but I also do not want to sleep. I want to be loved, but why would someone love another if not for self interest.  I cant stay in the moment, it leaves me and all joy has turned to internal tears and fears. What happened to my anchor?

"And Such were some of you"

My thoughts regarding the latest press release from Hillsong Church.

https://hillsong.com/es/media-releases/hillsong-church-loves-all-people/

We should equally stand and speaks against all sin. It is not right to be overzealous about the sin of homosexuality as if to say; this is the only motif. It’s concerning that placing too much attention on one issue is simply an opportunity to ignore and not address others.

Loving people is what we must be known for, this is the foundation block for any relationship specially our relationship in Christ. However; if we love, we will speak the truth of God to those we call our people.

The danger is the redefinition of sin. Isaiah 5:20: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

If there's no sin in your life, exactly what do you need salvation from? Was there no need for the cross?

1 Corinthians 6:9: Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

People say, love the sinner not the sin. (Read section 2)

But, who goes to hell? The sin or the sinner?

DC III

Godly Man?!

The basic requirement, or perhaps the only requirement for a man to be a Godly man is for him to actually have a relationship with God. Just as we have met and made friends with others, we too will know without a shadow of a doubt if we have met and have an actual relationship with the living God. I am not referring to the idea of God or practicing and emulating behaviors perceived to be Godly, but actually acting out in such a way where there's no distrust that you will be held accountable for all your actions. Inwardly you are being directed by not your own desires, not to emply that this will cease. Its a state in which you have been freed and no longer are a slave of your carnal and limited desires. In this freedom you are able to choose whom you will follow, self or him whom dwells within?

Conviction is the heart of the matter. Do we have it in private? If so, this is the key. Your public composure cannot truly reveal the condition of your heart. Your personal evidence, answering the question if you are a Goldy man will be revealed in private.

This is not about someone else's will taking over yours. Its an epiphany in which your soul cries out; "thank you for your will in my life."
