Jesus said:

"If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea." [Mark 9:42]

That's a powerful warning from a powerful Person who is more than capable of making good on a promise!

Some of you think Jesus is all sweet and soft like a gummy worm. But there is another side to Him that sometimes comes out when He gets highly perturbed.

Like the time He flung over the tables of the money-changers outside the temple and commenced to physically attacking the ones conducting worldly business in the house of God. [John 2:13-16]

Or the time when His own disciples were too slow to get a point He was trying to make to them. [Matt 17:17]

Then there was the fig tree incident. [Mark 11:12-21]

There is another thing that also exposed Jesus' not so fluffy side - namely to cause a little child or a young person who believes in Him to backslide and lose faith or confidence in Him. According to Jesus that is actually one of the deadliest things you can ever do!

So don't do it!

This is a stern warning to all of those who have children and attend church on Sundays - yet their kids see them living like a happy sinner all week long. Do you realize that by doing this you may be causing your own kid to stumble in their faith towards Christ by your hypocritical actions???

Some of you are living proof of this yourself. You grew up watching your own parents half-stepping with their Christian walk. And that's why you half-step with your own walk today, thinking that it's normal.

Many of you ain't saved because you've never had a true conversion experience. That's why you show up to my page arguing FOR sin, instead of against it. Hanging around saved folks doesn't automatically save you too. You can't obtain salvation by osmosis!

You need to have your own true conversion experience, to the point where you lay down your sinful ways and pick up the ways of holiness and right living instead.

There are folks sitting in Hell right now due to the way the older generation lived out a fraudulent example of the Christian faith in front of them. They thought they were Heaven-bound. But woke up instead in Hell's pit.

Jesus will personally hold you accountable if you cause a little one to stumble in their faith towards Him.

So stop fronting and trying to run game on people by living a double-sin-dipping lifestyle. You're not fooling your kids. In fact, they're learning how to pretend and be just like you. And if they miss out on salvation, their lost soul will be on YOUR hands.

So govern yourself accordingly.
