Dear Christian, what sin were you committing before you got saved?
With all the hoopla over Josh Duggar, I decided to write a post to voice how I felt about it.
I in NO WAY whatsoever condone what he did. He was wrong. But he was wrong 12 years ago. He said that after that incident he REPENTED, got saved, and changed his behavior. Whoa - what? He became a Christian? He doesn't commit that sin anymore? Then why the uproar? Because he comes from a conservative, in-the-limelight family that liberals hate.
How many people do you suppose were waiting in anticipation for something to come to light? Regardless of when it happened, I'm sure they were jumping up and down for joy. Who cares what it was or when it was. A Duggar messed up!! God forbid any of our sins should be put out for the general public to see. Oh wait, they wouldn't care because we're not on TV. If the Duggars were not a famous family that the whole world sees, no one would have know and no one would have cared. The people involved could have lived their lives without having to relive the whole thing all over again.
What's the saddest part about this whole thing? That Christians are the very ones leading the pack to burn Josh Duggar at the stake. I've seen and read so many comments from professing Christians that crucify him with their words. The very people who should understand and should have experienced the same redemptive work in their own lives, are turning their backs on a brother in Christ and throwing him to the wolves.
Jesus said, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
I think that kind of speaks for itself.
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, no idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
And that's all I'm going to say on the matter.
Until next time...

Amen! Amen! and Amen! Thank you for saying so well how I've been feeling the past few days. I'm just not very good with words. I think people were just waiting for something, anything to come to light to discredit this entire family. So very, very sad.
Blessings,
