OUCH!!

I preached today from Matt. 5:4:

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."


I have been working on it for a couple of weeks. I told DeeDee it was getting me when I was studying for it but when I spoke it today WOW! the Lord ate my lunch.

I have to ask myself, do I mourn over my sin, my every sin, or do I tolerate some? Do I mourn over the sin of the world or do I just turn my head and say, "That's the way people are today," and move on.

If I truly mourn over sin, it must be all sin. Mourning is not measured in degrees. Either you are mourning or your not.

Do you mourn over sin? Never forget, even the "small" ones were big enough for Jesus to go to the cross.

Gripped by Grace,
