Luke 6:27-36

The life of a Christian is not an easy road to follow, God never said it would be, I was on the computer just looking around, and I figured I'd go to some of the fundamentalist forums to get a little encouragement, cause the world we are in are is so full of sin and coruption everywhere we turn. Well I got on them and believe it or not all I found on there were a bunch of athiests, agnostics and so called believers with no backbone. They were cowtowing to the rest. Fundies as they called us were being put down for our beliefs. This is not a shock to me but quite a disapointment, my heart is broke for this world, but the more I see the harder it is to feel anything but pitty and scorn for these people. Yeah I said it scorn. God wants us to be softhearted and to Love the unsaved I am in no way saying that I don't love the lost or my saved brothers and sisters what I am saying is that without God I would probably give into the flesh and hate everyone for the way they treat his people. With God we are able to put what these people do and say to us behind us and also to forgive them for what they do to us(Luke 6:27-36). We must love each and everyone of them with the same love that God gave us and them, this is extremely difficult at times because they treat us as idiots because we are believers. The devil has such a hold on some of the people that I am around that they don't consider God real they think he is a crutch that we use to live our lives. Well the funny thing about that is they all have gods they use as crutches some are dependant on alcohol, drugs, porn, sex and an mutitude of other things, although I have God in my life I do not consider him a crutch I consider Him my father and my friend. He is my guide in all times. The fact is that we as christians may at times lean on God and ask him to help us through things, but we don't use him as a crutch. The devil has planted seeds in a lot of peoples minds and it is our job to dig that seed out and destroy it. This is very difficult at times and it is easy to get frustrated but we must keep ourselves on track and do our best to lead them to the Lord.



Luk 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Luk 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Luk 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
Luk 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
Luk 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Luk 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Luk 6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Luk 6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Luk 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Luk 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Yo dude, I heard a pretty sweet saying one time about Jesus being a crutch.

Jesus is just a crutch!

Yeah, but that ain't so bad when you're crippled [with sin].

Just thought you'd like to hear that!

God bless!
