I Love You Enough To Lose You

-

Accountability. Hard, truthful, in your face accountability. Where has that gone? We are so used to living our comfortable lives, not ruffling feathers or making waves. Just pretending things aren't going on. That sin, not just occasional, but continual, habitual sin doesn't exist. Or that we're so immune to it that we don't even notice it anymore. Or are we so afraid of confrontation these days that we just let everything slide.

I know I'm not perfect, so please tell me what I need to work on. Do it in private, and with tact, according to scripture. I would rather know that you love me enough to risk losing our friendship to save me from something, than to know that you cared more about your comfort zone to step out and confront a sister. We are called to love each other in TRUTH. What happened to that? Why are we so afraid of upsetting others? You know that darkness (sin) hates the light (exposure). So of course you'll receive some opposition, but that's not what you need to worry about. You should be more worried about your brother or sister's heart condition if they are not willing to listen to gentle words of discernment.

Please don't hesitate to call me out on things. And please, allow your heart to be opened wide, and poured into with the love of God and others enough to receive correction or confrontation. People point things out because they truly care about your walk with Christ and your heart condition. Realize the loving guidance and take their words to the cross. Ask God to help you examine your heart and life for truth in the areas approached, and wait to hear from God. Maybe if you weren't listening to Him, He had to use someone with an audible voice. Ever consider that?

I love you all in truth. I will confront you in truth and with love if something is pulling you from God. Know that I DO love you enough to risk losing our friendship to save your relationship with God. That's what a true sister/ brother in Christ would do. And I expect the same treatment in return.

Remember to do this in love, and with gentleness.

“WILLY MUTUNGA”… Gods “(mashiah),”

WHY I DO NOT OPPO SE WILLY MUTUNGA Isaiah 45:1-7 NB: The word anointed used in Isaiah 45, is the (Heb. mashiah ), and I have replaced the word Cyrus with Willy Mutunga. I am a pastor, possibly expected to support the sentiment of all the church leaders, I agree that they have wisdom in what they put forth, but I chose to look at the matter at hand in a totally different way, hoping I will not be labeled a rebel. Yesterday while I way in prayer, I found myself praying in an interesting manner, it was to my surprise that I was praying different. After reading about Cyrus and researching much on him, I begun to pray, “ God, give us a Cyrus, someone you have laid your hands and anointing on, they may be Christians or non Christians, but because you appoint all authorities, and you are over all, and your purposes cannot be thwarted, Lord give us a Cyrus in our days, one who will do your will, even when he thinks he is bent on doing his own will .” I must say, that I don’t advocate f

Think It With Me.. Contemplate

I have been thinking of putting some quotes that help me reflect daily, and for the purpose of setting the blog rolling, i want to share this with you. About Faith "Opening up our faith is not a process of convincing God to give us more of what we need to live the christian life. Rather, living the Christian life is a process of learning how to use more of what God has already given us." on your comments lets talk about faith...

We are Born "HOMOZ AND LESBIANS"....

-
Hi, Welcome again to another time to reason and make it straight. Are we born Homoz, Lesbians, Thieves, Liars, Gossips etc and the list goes on? Ah My answer is yes! I am certain that you have heard of Homosexual people saying this is how they were born, I find truth in their statement in this way, first, all of us are born sinners, that is by nature we sin naturally, we SIN,,, we engage in homosexuality, we engage in lies, in stealing naturally, because we are depraved and fallen. Turning on to the Bible I see Isaiah say, two things, that without choice... he was born in sin and lived among people who sinned, that is By nature he is a sinner and by default he lives in a sinful environment... but before you conclude, He has a choice but the choice will only come when God gives him the alternative, I.e the Light, and a chance to be made a new creature. Isaiah 6:5 Psalm 51:5 say more, Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desired faithfu
