This was the conversation I overheard whilst at Ben’s soft pretzels. (highly recommended by the way.) The hidden things of darkness came and bit this man in the behind. But more worryingly he calcified the already hardend heart of a child of GOD from being in community with his people. A few things that immediately jumped to mind
1. It really doesn’t matter who you are, you have influence. For good or for evil.
2. Your sins will, I repeat will find you out. Today, tomorrow, or at the judgement bar of GOD.
3. In darkness there is rotteness. In light there is forgiveness, but if we are still wearing the garments of rot and decay in light, well thats just stupid.
Numbers 32:23
wow. its true. like it or not we are influences. for good or for bad.
A very sobering anecdote. Its fascinating how God teaches, ‘disciples’ us when we least expect to be taught… in a pretzel place, just looking for food. Fascinating!
so this was a real conversation youover heard! haha…i thought it’d be outta a young adult devotional! haha
real convo. the girl was so loud the whole place heard that convo, lol.
