Without knowledge of sin, we don't realize how much we need God's grace. And, since it is the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:8), we pray that as we speak truth, God will convict his children of any sins - both ourselves and the believers around us!isaacsgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03251112462281245645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164751189889587877.post-31619056866003329802011-08-09T01:41:38.563-07:002011-08-09T01:41:38.563-07:00Way to go Kristen.

Even sinners that don't yet know the Lord correct their children, and tell them they are doing it only because they love them!<br><br>How then can standing up and backing God's word with rebuke and correction not also be called love? Obviously, the rebuke and correction must be done WITH love and not just a "tsk tsk tsk", but it's BECAUSE we love that we should also want our fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord to grow closer to God! Not sharing the good news and lessons the word of God has for us would be us NOT spreading His love.<br><br>Keep up your fire for Christ Kristen... Yes, we all fall short of the glory of God, but your mission as a disciple of Christ brings a smile to God's face (and it certainly blesses my heart).<br><br>Side note: I sent you an email (to the address shared on Blogger). I've had a number of emails returned to me (Yahoo doesn't like me this week for some reason), so if you don't get it please let me know and I'll resend ;)Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00343476472449478655noreply@blogger.com
