Approaching Sinners with Compassion [podcast]

Pour over our LORD’s words recorded in Matthew 5:38-48 – Jesus tells us to love all men upon whom the Father bestows His blessings. This is what a “perfect” or mature disciple does and shows the love of the Father. No, there is no condoning of sin in this. God loved us “while we were yet sinners” and expects us to do the same with those who are not yet His (Romans 5:6-8). “GOD is angry with the wicked every day” NOT us but GOD. “For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God” (James 1:20). | Angry Street Preachers Busted and Exposed 

Believers should never purposely attempt to offend others but rather are to know that as they minster the truth, they WILL absolutely offend some (John 7:7; 15:20; 2 Tim 3:12-13). When the light of divine truth strikes darkened hearts, some will repent and some will rebel. We know from the Gospels that when Jesus preached, many were offended. Here’s but one example:

“Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were OFFENDED, after they heard this saying?” Matthew 15:12

In reading through the New Testament Scriptures, do we see Christ and/or His holy apostles screaming condescendingly at sinners?

You can know if you are ready for the return of Christ by whether or not you’re calling others to come to Him in light of His soon return.

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17

Godly compassion begins with repenting truly and when we do, we will no longer be sinfully self-righteous which is where the lack of compassion emanates. When Jesus saw the lost He was “moved with compassion” (Matthew 9:35-38). What are you moved with?

Why did Jesus come to the earth?

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15

1 Corinthians 13

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up …”

“God so LOVED

the world

that he gave …. ”

John 3:16

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, I come this moment to You through the blood of my LORD Jesus Christ, asking You to forgive my sin of selfishness, cross-lessness, of denying You instead of self. Please forgive my sins afresh through the washing of the precious blood of Jesus Christ Father. Please break me to the core of my being and change me into Your holy image and likeness LORD Jesus. I love You Jesus. Please purify this heart and fill me with Your holy compassion and love. In Jesus’ name. Amen LORD.

“The Root of the Matter” Job 19:28 [podcast]

  WHY WOULD YOU THINK SOMEONE ELSE’S SIN IS WORSE THAN YOURS – IN THE EYES OF A HOLY GOD? NOT. IF THAT’S YOUR CARNAL THINKING, YOU ARE Uncircumcised IN HEART AND DON’T YET HAVE A GOSPEL CLUE! REPENT NOW – BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. YOUR HEART IS NOT RIGHT WITH GOD. Think about the foolishness and utter futility of a hand cuffed violent robbery suspect and a rapist judging each other in the lobby of the court they’re getting ready to go in to stand before the judge to be sentenced. The point? God calls us to get our […]

What is the Great Commission? [podcast]

What is the Great Commission? Who gave it? Who was the Great Commission given to? The Great Commission is simply the spreading of Jesus’ Word by teaching it to the world. Jesus gave it. He gave it to all of His people and holds each of them personally responsible for fulfilling it. Each of us will give full account to Him in this specific matter when we stand to be judged by Him. The Great Commission “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and […]
