The separation between us and the sinner is from the sin not the person. :)Nadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240242032030535432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810541735243717410.post-53278599605389447472010-03-20T10:21:57.281-07:002010-03-20T10:21:57.281-07:00I really enjoyed reading everyone's sharing to...I really enjoyed reading everyone's sharing today. Sunny your words painted a beautiful picture in my mind. <br /><br />S: Joshua 7:12 ...I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction. <br /><br />O: One man sinned, but God denied all the Israelites until they consecrated themselves and rid themselves of the sinner. <br /><br />A: I too was in awe of one man's sins causing so much pain to his fellow brothers. I pictured what a sad and disappointing day that must have been for the Israelites who went into battle that day, and for Achan who caused others to pay dearly for his sin. What a reminder not to surround myself in sin, and to not assume my sin will only impact me. God was sure that others would break his commands if just one person was allowed to go free for his sins. This both impressed on me the significance of all my sins to God and also how important it is to distance my heart from the sin's of others. It can be challenging to love others and try to stay in touch with the sinner's in our lives, and yet keep a healthy distance. <br /><br />P: God please guard my heart while still allowing me to reach out to those around me. Help me to be ever aware of even the "little" sins in my daily life. As I strive to be more like you, and read in your word, you deep love for me is overwhelming.

She summarized my thoughts from today's reading very well, especially to never minimize any sin even when I think it is small. Christ died because of those sins as well.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810777169069273440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810541735243717410.post-71921997496143232972010-03-20T08:32:45.222-07:002010-03-20T08:32:45.222-07:00Yes Sunny! Just like you, I want to have a song of...Yes Sunny! Just like you, I want to have a song of gratitude and praise to my Lord everyday at any time. Moreover, I would like to remain clean of transgressions as long as possible. Today as I read the scriptures, I was struck by the fact that the sin of only one man caused the dead of tens in battle. Also I was impressed by the fact that any immoral "christian" should be spelled from the fellowship (not the church!); that is, we should refrain ourselves even from eating with him if he persist in doing wrong. Therefore, my application for today is about being aware of any sin that I might commit and never minimize it. Sin is big deal and I need to remember this always! Any "little" sin made Christ suffer indescribable pain in the cross. To minimize sin is to belittle Jesus sacrifice. In awe I want to live today! Giving glory to the one who took my place!Nadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240242032030535432noreply@blogger.com
