Romans 3: 23 Sermon 8 August 2026

Good Morning Mamas and Papas little Wise Bloggers.

Romans 3 :23 says For all have sinned and Fall Short of the Glory of God.

But because we have all fallen short that does not excuse us from behaving in certain manners in ways which think are acceptable. or excuse us from punishment.

What I notice in Particular is that some Christians like to treat Christians who have a mental impairment as tho' they are still New Coverts and like to keep them in a "baby stage", I don't know why this is?. it's as if they enjoy exploiting and manipulating them, I don't know whether its because of culture differences, our of Jealousy or whether this is to do with other Hidden Motives or Agendas.

But I like to certainly belief the latter Hidden Motives and Agendas.

Many people did not like JESUS, even the Religious Leaders of his times, they misunderstood him, did not really understand his Mission nor could they receive because they did not want to accept him or where he had come from.

But whether they accepted him or not this did not stop him from fulfilling his calling and Mission on earth. The bible says 'we need to look unto JESUS as the author and finisher of out faith'. He was written things in his Word for us to follow and help us to live a fulfilling life and when we fail at something its by God Grace that he gently restores us, but he does it in a way that it helps us to understand what we have done wrong and to help us to reflect and ponder so that we don't fall into the same sin or trap again.

I want all us to "STOP AND THINK, PONDER THIS MORNING".

Maybe you have said something this week to someone verbally or, left a telephone message that you wanted people to take note of, but it didn't quite come out the right way, but you hoped the recipients would listen. But instead of listening and Ponder you can discern disgruntled and angry faces because you suddenly realise that what they are really angry about your message but sbout the message you left but about something else, they had a Hidden Agenda/Moitves. \Maybe some people are deliberately attacking you because they want you to react in 'Outbursts of Anger' because they are after something?

If you have a problem with JEALOUSY pray this morning that the Holy Spirit will help you to control and Master it.

Ask JESUS to help you deal with wrong false motives, spirit of Greed, Outbursts of Anger, Resentfulness, Deception, Lies, the Spirit of Gossiping. And if you are a Pastor experiencing any of these things pray with other Pastors and ask them to pray for you to help you be a better Pastor.
