HE STOOPS TO CONQUER 1

"True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness." - Albert Einstein

It's a rather busy and noisy part of town, everyone minding their business: he was there, doing his thing. From a few feet away comes an indistinct chatter, it's normal in this part of town. The chatter soon become audibly distinct. A combination of 'boos,' and 'ahs'. He turns to behold a beautiful lady. She's halfway between standing and squatting: shielding herself with both hands. In an attempt to block any fist that might be hurled at her. She's in her twenties or so. She's got long, dark, shiny hair, which is now ruffled from the crowds man-handling. What a beautiful creature he thought if only this troublesome lot would let her alone. Just then, it seemed, as though everyone began talking at once. Some yelling. They push her to him, What do we do to her. But he takes one look from the corner of his eyes, at this lady, stoops and ignores the crowd. Not saying a word.

Have you ever been caught in a web of confusion. The confusing arising from people - church folk - wanting you to say something, on a matter. And you're aware that the object of the discussion is a church folk as well. The traditions of men isn't the same as the laws of God Almighty. Where God almighty pleads leniency man calls for judgment. The Church is one of the only place where the weak is killed, and the strong is wounded. Some of us in the church, have become so ignorant of God's Word and take his place in judging others. We speak against leaders, gossip about people's weaknesses, remembering nothing of what God's Word really says: which is, helping a brother taken in a fault. If you cannot be a solution, do not compound the problem.
