When i know something is bad but then i still do it. We as humans live in a world of sin and believe in God (if you do) then why do we sin. Now i know we are just humans and over all we are bad people (Rom 3:10-12) but that's not a way out. If you call yourself a Christian then we should know not to sin when we are faced with. Take speeding, Big problem for me. My family has always been known for having a heavy foot and in my life i have used it. now i know that speeding is wrong, obey the law of the land (Rom 13:1), but i still do it. Not saying I’m some speed demon but i still go 1 to 5 miles over. If the sign says 60 then we should go 60, not 61 not 62 but only 60.
We see sin but we still do it. I feel like crap. Jesus died for me and i keep spitting on him. Sin is ugly and we seem to live in it. i have seen a lot of Christian that try so hard to live in the world that they act and look like it. I love when people tell me that “Jesus would hang out with the sinners”, this is true but Jesus never blended into the group, He stood out. Jesus was the one in the room that people looked at and say, “What's up with that guy?” We too need to stand out. As Christians we need to be the one in the room that people say, “why is that person different?”
So what do we do when sin comes our way. If we love God and want to obey Him we need to be in the Word all day. When sin comes our way we need to turn to the Word of God. I have a bible in every room in my house and when sin comes i grab the Word and read. Christians need to carry their bible everywhere we go.
It drives me crazy to see people not have their bible at church. the question is, if they can’t bring it to church, then will they have it when sin comes. If your not in the Word all day everyday then you will be hit hard by sin. If you don’t have a sword in a sword fight then your dead. If the bible is our sword then we need to use it. We are fighting a war and we have to have our weapon. sometimes we have our bibles but don’t use them. A book is no good if you don’t use it. I love to see people with bibles that have been beaten up by being used. I love to see the notes that people write in their bibles. Not to see what they think but to know that they use it. When we use it we are less a chances to fall into sin. I guess what i am trying to say is if we don’t want to feel like a homer then we need to get more into the Word.
