I agree with @LouderVol. I grew up in what I would call a fundamentalist Christian-inspired cult. Plenty of wonderful people there, but rotten leadership. It took me almost 50 years to finally come to grips with a loving, caring, patient God. Psalm 103 is one of my favorite chapters and I think...

I appreciate your outlook @LouderVol

I believe they are probably worshiping as best they can, seeing through a glass darkly. We are all very imperfect in our worship of God and I am no holier than anyone else in the congregation. None of us has the right to stand before the Holy God, except through the blood of Jesus Christ. Have...

I understand you feel conflicted, but I literally think you’re doing it exactly right. You speaking up is not going to impart new information to them, but will unfortunately place a wedge between your family and this couple. I think you might have said you’re in Bible study with these folks. I...

Good points. One twist on this phrase that i liked was the following: We are to love the sinner and hate OUR sin!

I don’t think Jesus’s primary goal for us was to call each other’s sin out. He spent a lot more time telling us to encourage one another. He said that by this, the world will know you you are my disciples, that you love one another. I think the calling each other out is important if a believer...

… sorry, I’m not very good at this. I replied to the wrong message.

My response is probably similar to @orangebloodgmc’s. I’m all for speaking truth in love, but I also feel like I have enough sin issues in my own life that I am unable (or at least unwilling) to point my finger harshly at others. It’s not my job to be their Holy Spirit - I am entirely...

… Trying to find a way to DM

Alright - we’re nine days in. I’d like to hear what’s on your mind. I think this could be a great thread.

That makes sense. It’s easy to become obsessed with a number. I don’t necessarily have a particular goal weight, but I don’t feel I’m quite to where I want to be. That being said, I was able to put on my son’s 31 waist jeans this week. I wouldn’t be able to wear them with a tucked-in shirt yet...
