Daily Inspiration: Luke 17:3


“Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.” Luke 17:3

In the 1950’s you would have never seen a woman and a man sleep together on television….but today that would hardly be true.  We look at what’s on TV, in the movie theatres, playing on the radio and we wonder why children are getting caught in sexual escapades, drugs, and alcoholism at younger ages than ever before.
There is a lack of accountability in society it seems. Kids are being raised without the church, without parental guidance and without strong morals.
Jesus is the only one who can and will redeem our society, our country and our world. 
This scripture shows Jesus telling is disciples to “rebuke” each other for their sins.
The reason:  sin is no good to anyone. It doesn’t rise up; it just keeps bringing you down.
If you truly love like Jesus tells us too love – you will try confronting your brothers and steering them into God’s arms.
Have you had an opportunity to share your testimony with a friend – or has God put it in your heart to proclaim the gospel to someone in particular? Pray that God will give you opportunity to do so and keep praying because He will.
