Often many of them have actual biblical support but we may have not noticed them or how deep the verse is relating to it. What are some lessons youve learned about the christian life that you'd like to share, so we all can benefit? Here are mine- 1) It's easy to drop your guard among fellow church attendants that we would among people we meet elsewhere but DONT. The church doors are open to EVERYONE with no limit to who can enter. And they do, for a whole host of reasons- some are unsaved people seeking God but still living the unsaved life, some are unsaved people who go because of tradition or just feeling they need religion in life, some grow up there and never get saved, some are christians with their own struggles etc .As a result, you can find any and everyone in church with a whole host of issue. Some of which may require a degree of caution around them. the bible warns us about this 1 Timothy 5:22-24 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. Spending my whole life in church and most of it in youth ministry , I can attest to this. Some of the advice, comments and encouragements from people youd meet in church,when the pastors or youth leaders arent there would make you wonder if they actually listened to anything being taught. 2)Satan is an excellent investor. When he offered Jesus the world if he would bow down to him, he wasnt necessarily lying. He has LOTS of resources and has no qualms about using them on a person if it will catch him in his net. Persons who've struggled with addictions like drugs, alcohol pornography etc can attest to this- anytime you make the effort to stop, randomly opportunities to carry out that sin will pop up. So always be on guard when you make a decision to remove something from your life. A man we once witnessed to told us, he got saved and threw away all of his porn. Right after he did it, a friend popped up with a fresh set of xxxx dvds that he had just burned for him. What are yours? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
