MONSTERS ARE CUTE, EXCEPT THE REAL ONES

THIRTEENTHmarchtwoohohseven

i woke up at 8:45am. with a strange dream i couldn't recollect.
and i left home and didn't get home till 3:00am the next morning.
so i'm typing yesterday's devotion today.

"'Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,' says the Lord." - Jeremiah 6:15

"no shame!" sounds like what Brandon would say, hahaha!

it depicts how some people are nowadays, doesn't it?
the state of the fallen. the extent of satan's lies.
how my friends (and many youth) think sinning is ok. "they do not even know how to blush"
"masturbation is ok.." "homosexuality is natural.."
sigh.

"they will fall among the fallen."
hmm, so there are 2 stages of falling?
like falling down and then still falling down somemore.

if,
let the fallen = the fallen nature of those who sin (ie. all of mankind)
then they will fall = the shameless falling in their mental state

therefore,
if there then are 2 stages of falling,
so this implies also that RESTORATION comes in 2 stages.
STAGE 1: Learning How To Blush (or, recognising their sinfulness)
STAGE 2: Learning That Jesus Has Brought Redemption (or, basic Christian salvation)

*memorandum to reader: STAGES 1 and 2 have no governing sequence and may thus occur in any particular order be it the former then the latter or otherwise so.

IT'S APPLICATION TIME!!: as part of the conduct that becomes a Warrior of Light, i SHALL thus restore the fallen mental state of my fallen friends by gentle instruction in conjunction with inviting them to service and/or sharing the Good News.

whatamouthful.
in a nutshell: I WILL NOW ALSO TELL MY FRIENDS WHAT IS INDEED RIGHT OR WRONG in conjunction with JUST SHARING THE GOSPEL.

QUESTION: do U feel SHAMEFUL when u sin?
take heart, if u feel shameful. for it should be that way. "(the shameless) will be brought down"
important note: shamefulness should NOT be confused with feeling condemned.
be shameful. but don't condemn urself. (ie. don't pronounce curses on urself)
be shameful, and repent. do NOT say, "aiya, i always like that one. i'm hopeless.."
INSTEAD, say, "Lord, i know i have sinned. i am disgusted with myself. help me change, Lord!"

amen.
