PLEASE read this post on criticism!!!

Hey all! Well, hey nobody! Ha ha! Blog is still unknown... Just me - and the world really...

Anyway, important post, as I am going to use this blog to talk quite frankly on things. Things that you
may or may not agree with.

Long scripture reading today, but it's important! I also recommend you read the whole chapter! Here are my fave bits to get across what I'm saying:

Romans 14:4, 10, 13, 17, 19, 22-23 NLT

Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.

So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.

For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.

You may believe there’s nothing wrong with what you are doing, but keep it between yourself and God. Blessed are those who don’t feel guilty for doing something they have decided is right.

But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.

Thank you for reading all that!
So, from the start, I want to be clear with you about personal convictions. I have strong PERSONAL convictions on a few things.

There are some really far out things in my life that I have been convicted of, that I obey to, that you may think is very extreme.

READ CLEARLY: THINGS I AM PERSONALLY CONVICTED OF IS NOT LAW!!!

Like the above scripture reads to me, we are all different and here for different reasons, to do different things, which is why we are convicted in different ways. Follow those convictions, but let's not push them onto other people!!

This isn't a 'your truth, my truth' post. There is only one truth. But convictions make us the people we are. Listen and obey your personal convictions.

Please don't EVER see me and what I say as law. This is just me sharing my journey. Which is why a PERSONAL relationship with the Lord is so important...

Ok, hope I've got my point across. This was one of the reasons I feared starting this blog...
Romans 14:13 "...Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall."

Please promise me you will tell me if I have hurt or offended? I never want to EVER cause you to stumble or fall! Ever!
