Whatcha say and whatcha do!!!! BY: KB© 3.25.15

My Utmost for His Highest has got me yet again….check it out:

Goodness and purity should never be traits that draw attention to themselves, but should simply be magnets that draw people to Jesus Christ. If my holiness is not drawing others to Him, it is not the right kind of holiness; it is only an influence which awakens undue emotions and evil desires in people and diverts them from heading in the right direction. A person who is a beautiful saint can be a hindrance in leading people to the Lord by presenting only what Christ has done for him, instead of presenting Jesus Christ Himself. Others will be left with this thought— “What a fine person that man is!” That is not being a true “friend of the bridegroom”— I am increasing all the time; He is not.

Have you ever met someone who does not present Christianity in a good light? Unfortunately I know far too many people who are so “saved” that they are no Earthly good. Y’all know the people who have an itemized list of every offense that will send you to hell or are so miserable to be around because they have misused their position and they sit in judgment of folks who don’t know enough to seek to please God and they spend all their time trying to please this individual?

I not too long ago had someone tell me about their position on MY sexuality….I didn't ask them mind you …but their quote was “ I was told that the righteous will scarcely make it into heaven” 

Hmmmmmmmmm, so, what I heard was this person assume the position of righteousness and that I’m not in the number of people entering the pearly gates…all of which was hanging on a judgment.

Now, let me be perfectly clear on my position, trust and believe I have one…1) I didn't ask for or seek validation from this person because I’m watching and making note that they have placed themselves in a position to be followed and then leave people hanging…2) I have no desire to be in a heaven that has harsh criticisms and “sometimey” help…the God I know is about love and forgiveness….I’m about that heaven!


We all need to watch what we say and what we do because we may be the only Bible that someone reads.
