Murderers and Adulterers

People are either,

Murderers or adulterers,

Pharisees or prostitutes,

Oppressors or the oppressed,

Predators or their victims,

Indulging in pride through arrogance or self pity,

Delivering either imperfect truth or imperfect grace,

Either actively pursuing justice or passively allowing mercy,

Desperate to demonstrate their value or afraid to display their value,

Becoming either better than or worse than.

...

To know which you are you may ask yourself one simple question.

Could you do the same if you were in their shoes?

  1. We are all born sinners. I wonder sometimes why some christians are better at recognizing it than others...

  2. Yeah, that is a good question. I used to be blind to what was right in front of me.

    1. Me too. It's really amazing how it can humble someone. I've noticed that some people who are saved will use it as a position of power and others are truly humbled by it. I think more than anything its the condition of the sinners heart that we all have. Just different sin for different people.
