Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Defending Your Sin is a Clue
One of the first things that fall away when Christ changes us into a new creation is dirty talk. When we are changed by Christ we begin to be deeply convicted of evil behavior, thinking and speech.
If someone claims to be a Christian and they have not changed at all, even defending their bad behavior, then it is likely they were never born again.
When Christ changes us, we are changed forever and for His glory. When we sin even once, we are deeply wounded in our spirit for having offended Him, as well as the people who are offended.
It is one thing to become ashamed of our actions and take time to confess, believers do this sometimes. It is quite another to argue and fight bitterly to defend the sin that should cause us to hide in shame.
