Why Do We Kick Our Own When They Are Down?
Why do we kick our wounded brothers and sisters, when they are self inflicted wounds? Preachers and saints that sin, it's like we are in the Coliseum in Rome. And we are the crowd sitting up high, and cheering on the fight.
Every little comment we make (kick). Call it what you will, gossip, discussion. Do we really want to see restoration, or are we intent on getting our little kicks on them as they lay on the ground?
To be honest with y'all, I have had a hard time staying on the forum lately. Because I wonder how I would be treated by some if I have a sin in my life, and someone found out and posted it here. And I also wonder if I have participated in a blood bath of others. If I have I pray that God forgives me.
Oh I know the juicy threads that get a lot of attention about moral failures come from fear most likely. Fear that there is a part of me that wonders if I have failed.
Maybe we all should remember, there but for the Grace of God, go I.
