Luke 6:37

"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:  Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:  Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."

Sometimes Christians look at people who have committed adultery or murder and compare themselves to them.  They may even say, "They're dead in their trespasses and sin."  I want to tell you something.  They are no more dead in their trespasses and sin than your sweet daughter or precious parent who has not received Jesus Christ's gift of salvation.  There may be some degree of corruption, but there are no degrees of deadness. 

All lost people are dead people in need of the Savior Jesus Christ.  You  may think you don't have a testimony to share because you didn't get a Ph.D. in sin before you were saved.  Perhaps you were saved as a little child like me.  Well, it took as much of the grace of God to save you, as it did to save a murderer on death row.  Never forget that friend. 

Remember, the ground is level at the foot of the cross. 

Psalm 51

This Psalm was written after king David had been confronted by the prophet Nathan.  This is one of the greatest confessionals ever written.  "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of your tender mercies....."

David knew for a multitude of sins there was a multitude of mercies.  David knew that God had not stoped loving him.  No matter what we do or how bad we feel, we can always know that God still loves us.  Praise the Lord. 

Ecclesiastes 9:18

Solomon writes that "wisdom is better than weapons of war:  but one sinner destroyeth much good."  Did you know that you and I have an influence, either good or for bad.  No matter who you are, you occupy a place of influence.  You are a preacher, whoever you are.  It may be in a very small circle, but you are affecting someone.  You are a preacher in your own home and in your workplace. 

You may think that you are no one special.  However, someone is watching you.  My dad always used to tell me that people may not always remember what you say, however, they will remember what you do.
