Admin	Be real Posted : 6 Feb, 2009 09:59 PM I have a high standard which says if you say something about living for Christ and your language and your behavior does not represent that, then I begin to wonder how true are you, and not to judge you, just looking at it the way the Bible states it, you are known by the fruit you bear, I am not saying that you don't make mistakes but come on live what you confess. I want my life to be a example to others.Though I may stumble and fall don't judge me by that look at my life as a whole, what I believe in and how I carry myself. Post Reply
angel_in_mn View Profile History	Be real Posted : 7 Feb, 2009 12:27 PM Good words. I know what you mean. Any good Christian trys to live the best they can by the words of the Bible. Yes - being human, we do stumble. But the point is to pick yourself up, ask for forgiveness, & know why the things we do are right or wrong. We should not look down on others for their downfalls, but try to help them. Everyone has certain issues or problems and we need to understand that no human is perfect. I also think that being human, we are all a little quick to judge the next person, but instead we all need to be a little more open-minded. Post Reply

It say a lot when we have that walk with the Lord and do things that are totally opposite, hang in there and let no one steal your crown, let your light so shine that others may see your good work and glorify God in Heaven. Have a blessed night. Post Reply
angel_in_mn View Profile History	Be real Posted : 8 Feb, 2009 07:23 PM Yes, it means a lot to me, and obviously to you, to have good morals and to truly try to live by them. I thank God for giving me a strong conscious mind. I do stumble, but I am trying to be more open-minded and more aware at every opportunity. Just like your title to this post says "be real" - that's all we really need to do. We don't have to prove yourselves to others - we should just be accepted, although that is not always the case. Good luck to you in in life and your continuing walk with the Lord. He teaches us love and understanding - as well as the heart to forgive those who don't accept us - not to hold a grudge. Continue to live in peace and in faith and let God guide you through any troubles. Let God give you His strength and love so it shows through you and into the hearts of others. God bless you, Angel in MN Post Reply
MindOfChrist2008 View Profile History	Be real Posted : 12 Feb, 2009 03:09 AM I completely understand your statements. There also tends to be a great deal of Christians who are uneducated in the Word. I find the hardest part of following the Lord is having to function in the world. Fellowshiping with believers can also reflect the world, and I think that is what you're getting at with this post. I find it difficult to discuss things on a scriptural basis with other believers that aren't online, but at my local level. It's extremely hard for single's to serve the Lord (to the best of their ability), because we all have that sexual element that needs to satisfied. That's a hardcore fact that most Christians choose to ignore when addressing the subject. Perhaps that's why we should fast as well as pray to feed our spirit the understanding that our biological needs can be overcome, although as others have stated, we will stumble and fall. We just cannot allow the enemy (the accuser of brethren) to weaken our faith when we do stumble. This, of course, is never an excuse for our sin. With that said one of the most observable sins amongst believers that I have noticed is GOSSIPING and BACKBITING. BAAAD. Remember, the enemy comes as an ACCUSER OF BRETHREN. Watch your mouths!
