Our Christian convictions...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... It's quite clear, if our Christian convictions are being used to withhold Christlike compassion, then we need to reevaluate our Christian convictions! I know one thing is for certain; this world desperately needs mercy and love applied in ever-increasing doses, NOT more judgement! Around every social media corner, on every biased broadcast, and even in hallway conversations, we quickly discover judgmental analysis from those who MUST be smarter than smart and holier than thou. Sarcastically speaking, it's simply amazing just how intelligent these judgmental experts have become, to be point of being gods in their own eyes; "Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!" (Isaiah 5:21) Another thing is for certain, anytime we hear the admonition "woe to" we had best sit up and pay attention, and then be willing to return to Christlike ways… Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
