Are You A Bully In Christ? BY: KB 6.24.15

Leviticus 19:18       You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

2 Timothy 1:7       For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Proverbs 12:18      There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

I know we ALL struggle from time to time. I know we’re all guilty of judging and critical positioning against others and some of you will even see this piece as a judgment and on some levels it is, but, I am also trying to highlight a point that we need to reflect on.

I am growing so weary of saints – emphasis on the ain’ts that have appointed themselves piety and are quick to correct based on their religious convictions. I watch these very same people tantrum out and act like babies when they don’t get what they feel they need (keep in mind their judgment for you is based on their own need.)

Strange concept isn’t it…they’re mad at you because of something you’ve said or done has taken them out of their black and white concrete thinking…. Your actions have hurled this person into thinking. They are now in the unknown land of “what if” and they have to think for themselves and how their actions line up to what they believe. These people have grown comfortable with “The Law” and their ways of breaking it but not comfortable with the concept of free will…… (let that resonate for a minute) These people preach grace but only intellectualize it because they have grown comfortable clubbing, berating, belittling, condemning in order to elevate themselves.

Everybody talking about free will ain’t free and you cannot stand on my back to pretend you’re tall………

How ya livin’?!
