And if not that one, I am no better. Thanks for sharing.

That's not to say we should always believe the worst of people, but at the same time, we can't forget they're only human. Prayers that they seek (and get) the grace and forgiveness they will need, and that those affected will be able to give it.Meg Falcianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624745402177674937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586517810252297119.post-22711957491319909862013-11-16T06:13:21.793-08:002013-11-16T06:13:21.793-08:00I too was pretty shocked with the Doug Phillips ne...I too was pretty shocked with the Doug Phillips news.

I think you have settled on a good approach. It is so important that we teach our children that it is very easy for a seemingly "good" person to make a choice that quickly leads them down a bad road. That is why each and every choice we make is SO important. As Christians we have to remember that Satan is out there prowling, like a lion, waiting for his opportunity to pounce, and none of us is above falling into his trap.

I think it's important to remember that, though we each are human and will fall in our walk from time to time, that if we are truly seeking God's face and putting Him first, that His Holy Spirit lends its protection in our lives so that we have right desires. Does that mean we won't ever sin? Of course not. But if we're purposefully striving for Kingdom things and seeking Christ's face, it's much easier to both recognize and resist temptation when the time comes.
