Why do some people always have a problem with someone else. Why do some people make it their goal to always be right AND let everyone know it? But the real problem is, how do you tell someone that they are prideful without ruining a relationship with them? Sure if the prideful person handled the situation Christlike it would work out because the person should see error and want to correct it to be more like Christ. However, what if you know the situation is not going to work out like that, what do you do then?
Isn't that situation true in so many situations? I mean if someone came to me and told me I was sinning, how would I handle it? I hope I would take what they say, evaluate it to see if it was true, and then if it was, I would change, but is that really what would happen? Regardless of how I would handle it, I hope people would talk to me if I was in sin.
There are so many areas right now with Caleb and I (not us individually, we don't have a problem, but the people we come in contact with) that we would like to just tell the person that they are sinning, but the people that need told, I know would not handle it well. Even the passive one involved is in sin. I just pray that God would open a door for me to be an example and be willing to forsake having a relationship to show her that her relationship with Christ is being threatened by sin. At times like this I have to stop and think and evaluate my own life so I am not the person who is seeing the speck in someone else's eye, when I have a log in my own.
On a different note, the Bible says that people who put a date on the end times are false prophets. For example, someone who says that due to all of these things that have happened, I believe the end is going to happen in this year or even between this year and this year. They are false prophets. What does the Bible say to do with false prophets? To flee them, to get away, to leave...if we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, then why is it that they are having such a big problem with it? Oh life is so confusing.
On the bright side, we go in for an ultrasound on Monday to make sure everything is going ok. I think the doc is really trying to make sure everything is super with this pregnancy. :) I get more excited the more I think about it! Caleb and I are going to Brownsburg tonight with the Sils' (the pastor at the church we have been going to since we left our old one) it should be really fun. There is an old evangelist who is coming through and stopping in Brownsburg tonight (actually he has been there for a few days) and we are going to hear and then going out to eat afterwards. Tomorrow, well I don't know what is going on, but I am sure something will be happening!
Hope everyone has a great weekend, if anyone has any advice on the things I talked about above, please, let me know!!!
