The flesh is weak

It's Sunday and we're on the heels of a new work week. This weekend has been an interesting one full of activities and discovery. I was listening to a christian hip-hop radio show and the host was interviewing two of my favorite artists: The Ambassador and Da T.R.U.T.H. For those who don't know them, you need to leave this page right now and check 'em out on YouTube. It's ok, I'll wait.......

Now as I was saying, these brothers have some amazing music that's uplifted me at times and even educated me on certain subjects. About a year ago however, both these brothers took a break from ministry because they had committed adultery. I remember reading the article and feeling shocked. Here you have two young men preaching the Word, having a career revolving around ministry and they fall to sin. It showed me that we are ALL victims to sin and none of us are perfect or will ever be perfect until God himself makes that transformation a reality. Now the host of the radio was speaking with them both about how their lives have changed and the reason they felt ready to come back to public ministry. The one thing that stuck to my mind was the theme of humility. So many times we think to be holier than our neighbour and forget to look at ourselves in the mirror. But we have to remember that none of us are exempt from sin's wrath. The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that we ALL have sinned and fallen short of the grace of God. Not most, not the majority, but everybody on this earth. That's something that we gotta remind ourselves everyday.

My prayer to y'all is to always keep your eyes on Christ and count on Him to give you the strength that we lack because without Him, we are nothing.


''...My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness...''- 2 Corinthians 12:9
