ANYONE...

...WHO KNOWS THE GOOD HE OUGHT TO DO AND DOESNT DO IT SINS. I realized last night that we condone so many things that are sinful, and we just let them slide. We kinda let them go by without caring. All the while we understand that it is wrong, but continue to do them because nobody gets hurt. But there is still guilt involved, especially the first time we do the specific deed. As humans we just keep doing it, it gets easier everytime, and we get more calloused and bitter. All we are doing is breeding complacency. Outsiders (non christians, lost etc...) are searching for a life that is different and exciting. We have a responsibility to show an aspect of purity in the day to day. Its not a call to perfection, but rather a call to seek truth, and Gods desires in our life.

Another example of this is calling someone out. Exposing a flaw in another persons life. The only question is if you are doing it out of love, or a desire to be right. The desire to be right only puts you in a temporary position of dominance and authority, and makes the other ashamed of their faults. If you are rebuking with love, than there is a genuine concern for the path of that individual. You want him/her to change because you care, not because you want to put them in their place. Blah, Blah...I rambled, i hope this makes sense.
