Still Sinning?   One-a-Day Tuesday  8/9/16

A life worthy

If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin?  Absolutely not! (Galatians 1:17).

Look, the fact that I still sin does not mean that Jesus is OK with it.

He is definitely not OK with it.

The fact that I still sin means that I, trapped in this frail and somewhat pudgy human flesh, have not yet learned to trust Christ completely.  There remains a piece of me–some days tiny, some days ginormous–that wants to wrest control from God and try the whole “Captain of my soul” thing again.  

It never works

but

still I try.

Call me persistent, or stupid, or…you know…human.

Happy Tuesday, Beloved.
