Pastor JD talks about the dangers of hypocrisy and duplicity in condemning others for what we ourselves may be guilty of as we rightly discern false teachings and false teachers.
I really enjoyed this and will be listening to it again. I have to admit when Pastor JD got to the third question I said “Oh Lord please don’t let me be that”.
I didn’t take notes and I don’t see a transcript so I don’t remember number three. But it was a conscience rattling message. We all need to watch it. Pretty sure if we don’t see a speck of the characteristic traits that he listed within yourselves, we may have a real problem. I hope I’m f.a.t.
Oh my, Pastor JD your message spoke to my heart many times, mainly re. the proud and arrogant. I was raised by proud and arrogant parents who taught me (by example) that I was, our family was the final authority.
But God…saved me at a very young age and brought me to an understanding and knowledge of Christ and His ways.
I will say my life has been a life long challenge of letting go. letting go and letting go more. The Lord has brought me to where I am. I have nothing but I am truly so happy in Jesus.
I can still see other peoples sins very clearly & quickly and very slow to see my own which means I am a hypocrite. I pray the Lord to search my heart and expose any wicked ways.
You’ve prayed to the Lord and expose this, and He has.
I see you growing in the Lord not as a hypocrite. For if we admit our sin He is Faithful and Just to forgive.
Even myself when God showed this to me, in me, I realized Yes I have pride and took it to our Lord like you. Now I ask Him Lord show me and change me because the change starts with our Lord changing us.
He knows us better than we know ourselves. It matters when we can see our lack of holiness and desire to progressively be sanctified. It means you belong to Him
