Ecclesiastes 7:20
20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not

when i went over this today

it felt different than
Romans 3:23

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;




romans is clearly saying sinned past tense


but ecclesiastes

sounds less like a statement aimed at past tense...

23Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

This is a works we must do and that his follow him daily.. not weekly or once in a blue moon but daily.

this is not something we should take lightly... this is something verry searious that are works do keep us saved..:)

Is this one of your jokes or do you really believe that works save you?

I agree we have to daily pick up our cross and follow Jesus.

It's what gives our lives purpose and meaning. If we follow the world instead, we have lost our spiritual witness.

The blessing is each day is a new day. If we fail yesterday, God gives us a new chance with the rising of each sun. Just as He gives us rest to recover and heal at night.

We can definitely agree about that....God discipline isn't pleasant but He does it because He loves us....

Otherwise we would be spoiled brats.

This makes things sound like doing homework or not doing it will get you a detention.

The way I feel about it, when you truly see the suffering people go through and how
much just a little bit of love and affection helps, would anyone not give this.

My kids, we watched like hawks for their coping with situations.
My son would lose a leg and not notice, while others one little tumble and the world
had ended. Praise. The smallest effort which they seriously put a lot of thought in needed
praise, it was like fuel and inspiration. And for their age it was brilliant.

You would not believe how they grew and developed, it took a little observation, knowing their
hearts and just reaching out and understanding.

So seeing need and not responding shows a dead heart. That is the point. It is not about the
action, it is about what is within and the lack of love that beats there.
