Over the weekend I became incredibly convicted over a sin in my life. It wasn’t something that would compromise my ministry, instead in some ways it’s more dangerous. This is a sin that creeps in without even knowing it.

It’s the sin of procrastination

I was reading from Jeremiah were the false prophets were telling the people not to worry about the Babylonian captivity since it would only last two years. This was after Jeremiah had told them many times it would last much longer.

I began to think about how many of us (myself included) know the truth but are unwilling to admit it. For me the truth is lately I’ve been living passively by procrastinating on doing what the Lord wants. And no amount of excuses can make up for it.

Hanging on my wall is a sign that reads “st. vincent, where a warrior lives”….

the hard truth is I haven’t been living like a warrior lately.

I don’t share this for pity, but because my passiveness has affected my relationship with you as prayer supporters. Forgive me for not communicating properly with you, and doing the Lord’s work properly.

The beauty of Grace is you don’t have to be a warrior since Christ has paid your sin-debt.

But you must confess when you have fallen short.
