I am so sick of watching people ruin each other's lives b/c they have no idea how to have a relationship! I am tired of standing by and watching them mess each other up b/c they refuse to listen to wise counsel!
Some would say, "Josh, settle down, that's not your place." or "Chill man, you have to talk to people in love!" or "Hey, don't judge me!!"
Man, grow up!
It is our place! If we just stand by and watch and don't say anything b/c we're scared to offend people then WE are wrong! People are worth more than other people think. Noone deserves someone screwing their life up b/c they're stupid.
NO!
From now on, I'm speaking out! I refuse to just sit and watch. I can't make people do anything, but if I don't give the option, than I haven't fulfilled the great Example.
And if people hate me b/c I tell them what they are doing wrong, then GREAT! I'm finally doing something.
If people want to hate you for snatching them from the fires of Hell, then who cares, at least they have another choice now. I'm so tired of CHRISTIANS telling me to be quiet! Love isn't always quiet!
Love isn't always polite and comfortable!
Jesus loved the WORLD, but He formed a whip and started chasing people out of the temple! Love doesn't always look the way we want it to, but it's still love. We need to get this idea that love is sappy and comfortable and makes us feel good out of our minds b/c that's not the truth. Jesus came to bring a sword! Why!?
B/c He loves us!
I'm not being quiet any longer!
Get this, people! Your relationship is NOT for YOU! It is meant to glorify God and if you're not under wise Godly counsel, than you are in the wrong and are not glorifying God. If you think you can do this on your own and hold onto your relationship and not listen to anyone else, if you think your girlfriend/boyfriend belongs to you and you can control what happens to them, you are wrong!
Men: If you are not married to her, you are NOT her spiritual covering. You cannot tell other guys to stop talking to her. You can only encourage her to stop talking to them. Get a spiritual covering for your relationship.
Women: If you are having a hard time giving an answer for why you are with your guy or why you live the way you do, it might be wise to take a step back and get that figured out.
Stop getting offended when people call you out about your lifestyle if you call yourself a christian.
Proverbs says a man who despises correction is stupid.

amen!
My
favorite part in the Bible besides not going to Hell is the part about
relationships. God loves us so much He made a way for us to love even more
people. The really cool part is that when we have children, that of our flesh,
we can raise them to love the Lord and share Him with others. In the interim
making spiritual children is a great way to get practice. |Let us hold fast to
the basic teaching of Jesus with the unadulterated knowledge of the truth;
Praise the Lord, the will of God is for the kingdom of heaven to invade earth.|
Dude, it's a good word. I am challenged again to not keep my mouth shut.
Many times, silence is begat by fear. However, do remember to continue to marry grace, love, and wisdom to your words. Don't stir up strife, but do be a peaceMAKER. I love you man. This is good stuff.
You are courageous and that is good. You have written well. I encourage you to speak whatever Jesus tells you to speak and don't be afraid. subscribed and added!
