Self examination is not frequently taught in many of our Christian circles today, which may be the reason why many Christians have become less humbled and more pharisaical.
I could go into all the reasons why I think this is, but I dare not for fear of the stones that would befall me! But as a Christian first and than a Preacher of the Gospel I fill it my duty to remind all my brothers and Sisters in Christ
“ That we have surrendered our stones” The stones of forgiveness of Sin!
God has forwarded his grace and mercy on us by the redeeming blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, The Bible says in Romans 5 :8 - But God commendeth his love toward us, in that , while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
There is no reason for us to pick up stones that have already been surrendered to him, for they are to be remembered no more by him.
The enemy already recognizes that we have been forgiven , but what better way for him to disrupt the church?
If Satan can get us to pick up the accusing stone to throw at the Lost, all it does is keep them farther away!
But if he can get you and I to pick up the accusing stone at each other ,
“HE Will WIN THE BATTLE”
Thus resulting in a:
1. Dysfunctional Church,
2. body of Pharisees
3. Larger Hell for his company
So before you start picking up stones to throw at anyone “main'ly your Brother”
Think of who is behind the stone that you are throwing.
Think of the grace of God!
Think of all the souls that will end up in Hell!
Than ask yourself if you should Duck!
After all your thinking remember you have been given a new heart.
The Bible says in Ezekiel 36: 26- A new heart also will I give you , and a new spirit will I put within you: and will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
With this new heart be sure to guard it, for it could mean the world to someone.
