Conviction

The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged. With gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, And they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:24-25

I was talking to Pastor Scott about some stuff. He challenged me on some stuff... and I was like.. I hate you. But, I know for at least one area, that God was already saying, "You need to talk to this person about this." So with what Scott was saying, it is in line with what God is saying. Thus, I have some work ahead of me.

So on my hit-list for call outs. I have three people. None of which typically read my blog...so count yourselves lucky.

I was also wondering, how can we call upon the mercies of God... when we are in such a sinful deplorable state. When I say this, I speak of the things that we REFUSE to repent of. We ask Him to pour His blessings and mercy, yet are unwilling to fully submit to Him, especially for things that He has clearly stated in His Word. Where do we get off?

Let's pray for people to come to their senses, especially our professing brethren. We need to come back to our God with passion and desperation.
