Guilt and Christianity | Getting caught up | Becoming immobilized
Posted by Westy | Filed under Beliefs, Christianity, Cool Things, Issues, Me
I just read a great post by Pete from http://withoutwax.tv a Pastor.
pleas read it first its only short… HERE
it is related to the main article found here by Relevant magazine.. HERE
My comment on the post is this
Gosh there are allot of posts so ill keep mine short…
I think that as a Christian we should focusing much more on the things mentioned…
we should be driven to lives of holiness by passion—passion for God, passion for the lost, passion for the Gospel, passion for each other.i think we get seriously caught up on what we are doing wrong and what we have to fix rather than striving to more like Christ…
hence we can end up getting caught up in a downward spiral of depression and guilt that it actually stops us doing what is right and what God has planed for use hence we can become immobilized and actually end up not doing anything at all..
please check out my blog.. http://trwest.com/blog/
It was really interesting as i was talking about this with a friend about an hour ago and now this post pops up in my reader and is exactly the same thing… God must have been involved on that one…
do let me know if anyone can relate to this or just comment on Petes blog but it would be nice to see some comments..
I am a chap that really enjoys photography and things that look nice. I am now teaching at a school in Bath UK called Monkton where I am able to help bring up the next generation. I love playing rugby and going Kitesurfing in Kenya which is my home away from home.

Get your handson a copy of the Gospel centred life or on Disciplines of Grace – the former is the shorter. They are both brilliant books at teaching us about living under grace not under the law, but also instilling in us a passion for God’s glory.
There is no condemnation for those in Christ.
And
all “Godly sorrow leads to repentance” – it leads to a deeper look at the Cross where Jesus paid the price for all our failings and took all our guilt, enabling us to live.
