Gossip, slander, lies, drunkedness, idolatry, fornication, lust, greed, envy, jealousy, pride….. These are but a few of the sins of man (and woman) prevalent in the church today. Yes, I said in the church…meaning collectively as a whole, the body of Christ globally. A church that is supposed to be without spot or wrinkle; a church that is supposed to be representative of the goodness of God, a church that is supposed to be a walking, living, breathing example of Christ on earth. It seems holiness and righteousness have taken a seat of lesser importance in the overall scheme of Christianity, that people have become less concerned with the condition of their own heart and more focused on the activities of those around them.
And yet in the midst of all this Christian sinning there is a plea for mercy and an outright abuse of the grace of God. Interestingly enough, there also exists an undeniable judgement of others and absence of grace extended beyond ones own self.
Ironic isn’t it? Where in our hearts is it ever ok to pass judgement or look down our noses to others for their sins when we all…yes all of us… have our own issues to work out with God?
Are you without sin? I’m not, I will be the first to admit that. I routinely (as in daily) examine my heart and find the need for repentance on a regular basis.
When we spend more time looking at ourselves then it gives us less time to judge others. When we spend more time trying to live out our life in righteousness and holiness, displaying the love and mercy of God to others, then it gives us less time to consider ourselves better than another because of their sins or “issues”. Isn’t this what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 7?
I would say then where there remains a blatant negligence of personal responsibility, an unwillingness to examine and see oneself, and an absence of grace extended that there exists a church (globally) that is not ready, a church (globally) that is not prepared and a church that does not understand the love, the grace, and the mercy of God. It then is also a church who is not holy and blameless in His sight.
There must be a shift in this thinking in order for the last days revival to be ushered in. We need another Great Awakening – and it must start in the church, it must start with us as individuals. How can the church help the “world” if the church is a hot mess themselves? What compels them then to want to know him if the only example of him they see is us? It starts with the people who make up the church…it starts with me, it starts with you…we must get our own hearts right and pure with God before we can help others.
Stop judging others for their dirt and start cleaning your own house!!
As we enter this most holy season of Yom Kippur, I encourage you to spend some time in personal reflection…do your own heart check. Let go of what others have done to you, forgive and release them to God. Look within and in honest introspection see yourself…repent and ask Holy Spirit to help you become who he wants you to be, to help you represent him well on earth. And for the love of God, stop judging and looking down your nose at other people for their weaknesses and shortcomings, that is the highest sin of all…pride. So just stop! Do what Jesus said and get your own heart and life right before you go trying to fix everyone else’s!!!
Let he who has ears to hear…hear what God is saying.
