Kinda sad tbh. It grieves my own spirit greatly when I see proclaimed “Christians” casually living and doing the very things that God instructs us not to. I don’t know how people are comfortable to be “open” about their faith and also “open” about the lifestyle they live that contradicts that faith. It’s crazy to me. I’m definitely not perfect but I try my best not to say one thing and live another way. The word for it is hypocrisy.

Same. I saw someone said they are the way they are because they are a Leo, in the same breath they take their faith seriously. I was astonished for a moment.

Leo ko😂😂

It’s more of us wanting to follow what we know is right and still not miss out on what everybody else is doing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees lying as a big sin. (I know sin is sin but some people believe some can be brushed off)

When Paul said "How in the world can you be saved and still sin?" I think he was genuinely baffled.

Because when you're truly convicted with the Holy spirit it literally makes sin so uncomfortable you feel like you've truly "grieved" him with your actions.

And if you identify as a christian and you don't feel this discomfort after any sin then please get closer to God. Because you should feel it.

(Okay this is a very long comment.)

You are not judging, you're writing the truth and they need to hear it.

They say the truth is bitter, but it's still the truth. Many people forget that the Grace of God is to Sustain you in Him and not to continue sinning. It's well oo

I remember writing a piece like this few weeks ago and cross-checking myself because what if I’m judging? Does that make me just like them?

Thank you! This was a beautiful read!

I asked myself many times as I wrote, “am I judging?” Maybe I am, maybe we should mind our business and focus on our own race idk man. I just wish I can be normal and normalize everything and not mind.
