Living as a Saint and Sinner
This quotation hit home for me tonight. It answered a couple of questions for me that I’ve had for a while. What do you think? You can read more quotes here.
How can I be sincere and yet corrupt? In other words, how can I express my complete commitment to God at one moment and then yell at a driver who cuts me off five minutes later? What changed? Was I insincere when I told God that I was completely His? No. I was sincere. But the subject changed. People tell God they’re completely committed to Him when they’re in the context of missions, for example. But when the subject changes and there’s a different sacrifice to be made, often things change. That’s the dark side of all of us. We’re both saints and sinners. You don’t have to be a saint to be a saint. That’s the gospel.
