I guess I was rather more touched for teensxcite than I am for night service for once! I thought what was preached was pretty relevant! Pastor R talking about how being Doers of the world.
Sometimes, I do feel like I'm paying lip service to God. Sinner indeed. It's so easy to get caught up in the culture, and lose track of where Jesus is in our life. Is He the centre of the things we do? Or is He only present on Saturday? And we, with no denial, had once or sometime in life, allow the twisting of God's truth. We tell ourselves, yes, it's alright to do this today... God is graceful, He forgives which is true? But we do not even try to tempt and give ourselves excuses. We in this case, blame God, for temptations but the bible tells us.... We tempt ourselves.
James 1:13-14 (NIV) When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desires, he is dragged away and enticed.
Suddenly, here I am struggling with my sins. They are really unhealthy.
Matthew 12:36-37 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Suddenly, it felt like God was telling me to stop, and watch what I speak. I know sometimes I may come off as a bit straight, rude, hurtful and loud. Or sometimes unworthy, or even of the unholy things that I should refrain from. Even if they are jokes, or harmless but they are of the world! The same mouth that praise the Lord shouldn't be spurring vulgarities right?
He also reminded me of the hanging relationship I have. I actually felt the holy spirit stirring something in me, that made me remind of this person, & I felt a lil' painful. I hope that's the Spirit healing me!
TGIF has so much to plan! Just praying praying praying!
Right now, in my very comfy pyjamas, I'm just gonna get knocked out any minute!
Goodnight. XX
