Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is STUPID.

This message is NOT for the faint of heart and yet I believe all Christians should hear it. The plain fact is that God takes SIN far more seriously than any of us do! Christ did not die the gruesome death He did for our "mistakes" and "imperfections". He did for our SINS and the work of Satan in us!

In this message I disclose the stories of four different people who once praised the Lord for me, and who suddenly and dramatically were turned completely against me, even some now publicly slandering me, because God confronted their sin through me.

Matthew 18 Commentary by John Gill - "When the holy blessed God reproves a man, he reproves him in love, privately: if he receives it, it is well; if not, he reproves him among his friends: if he receives it, it is well; if not he reproves him openly before the eyes of all; if he receives it is well; if not, he leaves him, and reproves him no more.'

To read the Biblical precedent for God exposing the unrepented sin of believers like this publicly, please see this link with a message also from my heart about how I feel having to do this.

These stories reveal just how tragically BLINDING SIN IS! They are to be taken as warnings for all of us. God takes sin far more seriously then most of us do!

God judged Judah even more severely than He did Israel, because Judah SAW Israel's sin and she took NO NOTICE!

Sin blinds your eyes and darkens your understanding. Unrepentant sin leaves us terribly vulnerable to other spiritual deceptions. Sin begets more sin. Worst of all, Sin separates us from the Love of God and from our loved ones.
