Why Sin Can't Be Privatized

If On Behalf of a Healthy Community
We Should Avoid Being 
Judgmental About One Another’s Sin

Then Equally,

On Behalf of a Healthy of Community
We Should Never Avoid Those
Who Can Lovingly (Christ-Like)
Make Us Aware of Our Own Personal Sin

The Fruit of the Spirit and the Incarnation of Christ In Our Lives

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23

Thoughts:

The Fruits Of The Spirit
Are Not Only Evidence
Of The Indwelling Presence Of Christ
In Our Lives,
But The Very Power
By Which We Represent Christ and
From Which The World Feeds On Christ…
No Fruit… No Food...
No Fruit... No Representation.

The Fruit of the Spirit is What Enables The Believer To Be The Incarnation of Christ In The World

Principles Regarding The Fruit of the Spirit In The Life of Believers:

Principle #1
Acquiring The Fruit Of The Spirit Distinguishes The Believer From The Rest Of The World - Causing Curiosity and Interest On Their Part

Principle #2
Acquiring The Fruit Of The Spirit Will Empower and Motivate Us To Engage and Change The World For Christ

Principle #3
Acquiring The Fruit Of The Spirit Enables Us The Believer To Have Fulfillment and Satisfaction (Shalom) By Taking On The Image And Characteristics of Christ

Heresies

Most heresies 

are well intended compromises 

related to how we think

we should understand 

the nature of God

If Love Is A Truth, Then Truth Must Be Loved

If We Are Compelled To Believe That All LOVE is a TRUTH 
For Everyone… 
At All Times…
In All Places…
With All of Its Powerful and Wide Ranging Possibilities and Inconveniences

Then In A Corresponding Manner

We Must Be Complelled To Believe That All TRUTH Must Be LOVED…
By Everyone…
At All Times…
In All Places…
With All of Its Powerful and Wide Ranging Possibilities and Inconveniences

To Diminish The One is to Minimize The Other

Where We Live In Scripture

In "Modernity" (1700's - 1980's) we lived in the Epistles - primarily the Book of Romans.

In "Post-Modernity" (1980's - Present) we lived in the Gospels - Primarily The Sermon on the Mount.

To be Timelessly Orthodox In Our Christian Faith...

We Need To Live In BOTH...
