Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

[Sissy]

Which of you would like to brag on yourself?
Which of you would like to tell us about the good and righteous deeds you’ve done?
Which of you would like to tell us about how badly you’ve been treated?
Come on …… tell us all about them.

Then let me tell you about me.
I am a filthy, rotten, lowdown, disgusting sinner.
I deserve to burn in the eternal flames of hell, far away from the presence of God.
Guilty. Guilty as guilty can be.



I have witnessed people crying and desperately trying to defend themselves because they felt they deserved better treatment, and that they were owed remorse from someone.
In the first place, you are a filthy sinner and have no defense.
In the second place, you are a filthy sinner and deserve nothing.
In the third place, you are a filthy sinner and are owed nothing.

And in the fourth place, where was your armor?
If you would have had your armor on, then all of the fiery darts would have bounced right off of you.

So come on …. tell me about all your goodness.

But tell me about all my badness, because I don’t want to forget what I am – a filthy sinner. I don’t want to ever get to the point that I think I am actually GOOD, or DESERVE anything ,or that I am OWED anything.

Every one of us deserves to be ragged on.
But how many of us have our armor on?

[Zerubbabel]

That cuts right to the quick.


Amen.

[Sissy]

That cuts right to the quick.

Yes it does, you filthy sinner!

:hi :hi Hi my name is Christy............I am a filthy sinner :wayy2


And yet a sinner, Christ died for me. I never did anything to deserve that. I can never do anything to repay that, but yet He paid a debt he did not owe, because I owed a debt I could not pay.

He even went on to say, my value was far above rubies, He said that I was His, He said that I was loved, He said that I could cast my burdens on Him, even though He had already suffered through death for me, He said that I was the head and not the tail, He said that greater was He who was in me, then he who was in the world. He has even prepared a place for me that one day I could be with Him. And there is so much more good things He has said and not just said but promised!

And here I stand as a filthy rag not deserving of any of this, and despite all that He has done and said I still mess up, I still sin. I fail to do what He says. If Christ loves us this much, how should we be loving him, better yet doing as He said and loving each other? I am way guilty of letting others get to me. But yet he told us to love one another.

He told us to serve one another, and in that serving we feel we have to be dictators. We take it as my way or no way, when it is really His way and if we were doing it His way we would not find ourselves in the messes we get into.

I am suiting up, I am putting on my armor, it helps to pad the cross I have to pick up. I am keeping my eyes on the Son, because He keeps His eyes on me, and I am going to follow all of His examples, but even though I do that I will still be a sinner not deserving of anything but hell fire. why is it so hard to do the right thing? Why is it so hard to do good? Because we war not against flesh and blood but evil spirits. How many times do we forget that? I know I do.

Hi Christy. Yes you are!!!
And we still love each other.
Not because we DESERVE love, but because we have a new nature that loves.
With all our faults, with all our disappointments, with all our conflicts, we can still love and recognize that while we were yet sinners, we were still loved.

Praise be to our Lord and Savior!!!!!!! :tru2

[Angel2Drew]

Amen sister....I love you, you filthy sinner That is taking on Christ. Longsuffering would not be so long if we would all grasp the Christ concept. If we are to love like Christ then we are to repent, ask others to forgive us and even if that person does it again and again we are to do the same again and again. That is putting off yourself and putting on Christ. Because we are all filthy sinners!

God bless,

My name is Janet, I am a sinner and I have recently sinned against some brothers and sisters. I have violated a forums policy and have lost the trust of many.

I humbly ask for your prayers.

Thank you.

[Sissy]

Another sinner? Imagine that!

I humbly ask for your prayers.

Already did before you even asked Janet.

You are loved.

And I just love your sense of humor!!!!!
Always enjoyed talking with you and the night owls!

[Angel2Drew]

I humbly ask for your prayers.

Praying for you sweetie....

Hi my name is marcie and I too am a filthy rotten sinner, who was mad a God (for a little while). Yeah I forgot about my armour for a while and the darts came flying high and low. Panicked and then Prayed and the LORD showed me.. Psalm 91 and John 14!

Now the LORD Praise him Praise his Mercy and Glory is helping me through this.

I sin daily I sin against my body., you see I am a smoker a closet smoker that not even my parents know not even my fellow brethern know not even my pastor knows. I like to drink occationally and I got one nasty temper.

I fight against jealousy, I fight against doubt daily at times and I have sinned against my own brethern by being quick to judge.

I ask for forgiveness for not having the patience to let GOD do his work(he is in Control) for doubting, for being Jealous., for being angry at God for not having another child, There is still no closure in that dept, Now my brothers partner is pregnant and I am jealous jealous that she can have another child and works fulltime while I raise her daughter my niece and she can have another child and my womb is shut?.

Mad that my husband lives with a disease that is deforming his body and others get off scott free, angry that we have so many trials and others non believers get off easy.

So Lord I humbly ask you to forgive me, let the Holy Spirit continue to work and heal my heart.

I love you

God Bless

Hey, I'm sorry that I lost my temper here just before the board went down. I said some things that I should not have said and I think it incited another little upset from some of you guys. Very sorry if I touched on some old wounds or hurt anyone with my words. Good news is that I'm ready to go back to longsuffering mode. I honestly forgive and forget all the road bumps that we have encountered in the past, both here and at CWS. Whatever happened in the past is past and done with as far as I am concerned, so it's in my thinking and in my heart to cover everything.

[Sissy]

AMEN! :cla

Always glad to hear when people have healed and are at rest.






We'll be here for ya next time too!!!!! :csaw
