Thoughts for Christian Living: Excuses Excuses...

RESOURCE: GOOGLE

Perhaps the most common obstacle a Christian will face in achieving success within the spirit and body is excuses. I am not just talking about excuses for skipping your exercise or diet plans, this goes far deeper than that, to the core of our failures. SIN!

The Bible says in James 4:17:
"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin". 

1 John 1:8:
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us".

Sin gives us excuses to skip church, sin gives us excuses to not love, sin gives us excuses to not give to the Lord's work, and sin gives us excuses to stay in poor health.

Pray today that the Lord would convict you of sin of making excuses and give you strength to acknowledge, confess, and press forward!
