"It is not OK to accept something that present, convey advocate sin as OK. This can be anything from the lyrics in your music to the games you play. Anything that makes your flesh have more control is not OK." Learning on how idolatry, temptations are being downplayed in our current world. Big idea on conviction here.
Thinking about the many other big central ideas that comes along with the Christian faith. Big ideas with big words.
-Legalism
-Justification
-Sanctification
-Righteousness
-Grace
-Love
I do not think the full ideas of these words and can be grasped. I do know and had been getting back the habit to go back to the Word of God and memorize them (word by word). With that I believe we are more armed to fight the daily battles of temptations, idolatry. We need to get practical, yet knowing the big ideas help us apply them to get practical about what, how, when, where we actually do the Christian 'walk' daily.
On the side-note: Shared the gospel with someone yesterday since like a long time. It came as a opportunity as we were sitted down talking about joining them in their MLM money-making 'empire'. I was skeptical and pointed out flaws and could have just engage in a endless debate on the structure of MLM. We were talking about the issue of pursuit of money bringing happiness and I sort of showed this guy of the eternal happiness we can have with Christ. Learning how to avoid arguments, I presented and asked for his decisions. He didn't accepted. Nevertheless, I was glad I planted that seed in his heart.
