The Daily D with Josiah Douglas

God set rules in place to protect us, but that doesn't mean that everything that isn't against the rules is good to do. Let's talk about what the Bible has to say about these gray areas in life.

The bible clearly tells us the sins that will keep us out of heaven. It's easy to see people in the world who are committing these sins and judge them for it. But what we need to remember is at one time, we were in the same boat as the sinners we see around us. It's Christ's love that saved us, and it's Christ's love that can save the sinners around us.

Judge not lest you be judged. It's a verse used all the time about judging, but it's not all the Bible says about the topic. Is there times when you should judge the people around you? Let's take a look at another verse that talks about judgments.

Paul lived a life that was so Christian that he told people just to act like he did. Can you say the same thing about your life?

Sharing your faith seems binary. Either the person you talk to becomes a Christian, or they don't. But that's not the way God sees it. When you share your faith, you are either planting a seed, or you are watering a seed someone else planted. It's God who provides the growth.

Paul preached the simple Gospel. Complicating it doesn't do anything but keep more people from coming to Jesus. Keep the Gospel simple, because that's the way God made it.

"Not my president!"

God put in every leader in place. This includes leaders in government that we don't like and even may seem anti God or Christian.

Sometimes sin is such a huge force that we can't resist it. But that's not the case. Let's talk about this today!

God hates people who stir up division in the church. So let's not do that!

As Christians, many of us look at the world fondly wishing we could do some of the things we know are wrong. We even think about our old sinful life and remember it as all good instead of how it really was. Let's talk about this today.
