I feel so powerless to help. It is such a sad thing that i have come to realize - that I am unable to help anyone.
I have so much compassion for so many people that i know, people that I work with, etcetera. But, even in my compassion for them and for the mess that their lives are in, I am totally, utterly, completely powerless to help them.
As I am coming to learn, only God can fix people; I can't.
On another note, i sure am enjoying what Creflo Dollar has been preaching on lately. i tape his stuff and watch it later, currently i am a few weeks behind. Just recently, he preached an amazing couple of messages on the stark reality of hell and the suffering therein, and at the end hundreds of people came forward to get saved and to recommit their lives to Christ.
After that, he has now moved on to preaching about what sin does. In particular, he is talking about sexual sin (fornication, sex outside of marriage). He lays out that although God forgives us for these sins, that we cannot walk around thinking these sins are okay somehow, and shows what God really thinks and says about these things in His Word. Pastor Dollar then shows the effects of these sins, both on the world around us and in our own lives, and how we may get forgiveness for the sin but still have to reap the consequences in our lives, in our childrens' lives, and in the community and the world around us. Scary stuff indeed, and very very true! God's Word is not to be tread on, nor are His laws to be pushed aside!
