Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful” Benjamin Franklin

God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.” 2Tim2.19 ESV

If Christ has come to destroy the works of the Devil, we may certainly expect Christ to destroy Satan’s works through those of us who name His name. Every sinful act is an act of treason against His sacred mission. It is God’s clear intention not only to deliver us from hell but also from every hellish act that extends its shameful stench in the world. To be loved of God is no less than to love Him in return and to turn from all that grieves Him.
