Soldier for Christ's comment on 2013-02-24 09:11:14:
I really like what the one brother said about the honey and the honey comb; comparing it to knowledge and wisdom, but something that really got me in this chapter was how he said that even the thought of foolishness is sin. Can you even think of how many time you've sinned by just thinking of foolishness and it’s not like we've just done it once. The human person, the flesh will do it all the time without remorse, and I want everyone to think about this. God is Saviour, Jesus Christ died and shed His blood for all your sin, and every time you sin you take more of that blood, and the sin includes even the smallest thought of foolishness. God, Great God and how wonderful and merciful you are to us; we should exalt your name in the streets. God and Jesus do love you but they hate sin. Brothers and Sisters in Christ, have nice days until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and you see them.
