When Sin Becomes Callous
« on: November 15, 2009, 12:35:06 PM »
I couldn’t forget the words that were shared to us by Bro. Inaki, one of our community elders in our marriage Encounter group. He once told us that “Sin is like callous. The more you do; the more you are getting used to it.”

There are times I compromised in ‘little’ things and think that it won’t matter. Yet, as a believer myself, there is inner frustration when I allow things into my heart and mind that I know are in contrast with God. Lest I forget, when we ignore, we find our heart moving toward unbelief. God calls us to be vigilant about keeping our heart soft. It is not always easy but it is always worth it. As it is written, “See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily as long as it is called today so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.”(Heb 3:12-13)

Prayer & Reflection:
Father God, keep my heart soft. Don’t let me allow sin to slow down my reflex to You. I need You in my life. Increase my faith and help me to encourage someone else today to stay firm in their faith too. Guide me and hold me close to Your heart. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Amen, Brod. Gener.

And to add to that, Brother Gener, we must fight temptation as it is a test from Our Father Who Is In Heaven.

Reading this verse from Hebrews, chapter 12 is quite empowering!
----

3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”

7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews 12: 3-11

My address to my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ:


Brethren and fellow sheep in Christ Jesus who is our Eternal Lord and Sheppard,
we, all of us who have accepted Jesus Christ into our lives as our Lord and Savior,
have been accepted into the Heart of The Father,
but because we are received as sons and daughters, we will be chastised because He Loves us.

We will be tested, and our faith shall be set in the fire to be tested.
For it is in fire that gold is purified.

So let our faith in Christ's Divine Mercy be purified and justified in HIM who has called each of us
By Name.

Let us Glorify Him,
Our Lord and Savior.
He who has called us Heavenward in Jesus Christ!

Glorify Him!
He who is ALONE worthy of Glory, Honor and Praise.
