Bless Every Home sends out a prayer every morning that contains a scripture. I just love their prayers.
Today's prayer:
Father, I praise and thank You for the Spirit's power in us to restore others in a spirit of gentleness. Thank You for Your sanctifying work in us and through us to share Christ's love with others in restoring those caught in any sin.
Galatians 6:1
That last word set a light bulb off in my mind. In today's world, there is no such thing as sin. I mean think about it for a minute. What is considered a sin today? Certainly not having sex (any kind you want). Certainly not killing someone (think abortion or euthanasia). I could go on with examples of sin but as you see pretty much anything God labels as sin would not be considered such by a vast majority of people - even Christians. Those last two words are the shocking part.
That the world thinks nothing is a sin makes sense. But for Christians to not consider sin a bad thing - that is wrong in every single way possible. Those people who go around saying that Christians can't sin are liars.
When people see Christians committing sins or lauding them as being no big deal - then it gives license to those who might have stopped, might even want to stop, so that they could look to Jesus.
