CHRISTIANS BE SENSITIVE!
It is sad to know that some of our brothers and sisters engaged in a "third party relationship"... in short, ADULTERY! the bible clearly forbids A-D-U-L-T-E-R-Y. though it is not a new issue but for the church, is a serious problem. As christians, christlikeness must be evident in our daily life,yes, it is tough you may say since we are living in a big fallen world, a world of disaster. yet, it can be done by Gods grace. The challenge was to run the race with perseverance and to live a life that pleases the Lord. A friend of mine reported that thier married pastor is in a relation with a certain young lady...this young lady happens to be their church member!overwhelming huh?! but i don't blame the pastor for the said act, David did the same thing to Bathseba...but he must face the consequences for the sin he committed. my concern anyway was the church, immorality in the church is not new. i just wonder how are we going to take the harvest IF there are dried bush in the vineyard!?! Church, we need to open our eyes and be brave enough to look for our brethren. We are accountable for them! in pauls' time, he always remind the church to pray for each other, the same reminder is needed today. we have to pray for each other including our leaders... they too are humans who lives in the same filty world we are in and still needs our prayers. maybe, we are now so lax in praying for the christians, (am guilty) and get busy in our own selfish prayers...pray! PRAY! pRaY!!! and live holy... i wonder how many of us can still utter what john says..." IMITATE ME AS I IMITATE CHRIST..." 1 COR 11:1.
