Nothing truly degrades a person except sin!

There is nothing from without a man that entering into him can defile him.

- Mark 7:15

Nothing truly degrades a person except sin! There is nothing funny about sin. It hurts individuals and our society as a whole. I am glad that the Mornings with God App talks a lot about sin. They do not sugar coat it, there are a lot of prosperity ministers like some we see on TV who are all about making tons of money for themselves promising a lot, but never talking about sin and turning from it. I worked at a university for almost 30 years, I saw a lot of greed, corruption, mediocrity, fraud, envy, jealousy, and insecurities. It was not always nice to see, especially from people who have doctorates and are supposed to be well educated, but do not put God first in their lives. I read some articles about professors that are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, then others destroyed and vandalized his new statue they just put up to honor him. It is so sad to see. I know where I worked there were a few professors who reposted and wrote evil things about Charlie after he was murdered, how sinful can you be? We see a lot today who are full of hate, negativity, and living in misery. They make a lot of excuses for sin, hate, and lawlessness. It is sad to see, and they are supposed to be the ones with high status in our society. Really? It is so sad to see and they need our prayers.

The Mornings With God App today said, "It’s important to keep our bodies clean, but it’s even more important to have clean hearts. Being physically dirty doesn’t make someone unworthy before God. A person working in a coal mine or factory may have blackened hands and face, but they can still have a pure, sincere heart. On the other hand, someone with a perfectly clean body may still have a heart full of sin. To please God, we must have pure hearts, even if our bodies are dirty from honest labor. Jesus gives us a glimpse of the human heart, and it’s not flattering. It’s like a nest filled with all kinds of evil. There’s a lot of talk about social rank—people judge others based on their job or status. But nothing truly degrades a person except sin." Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/mornings/september/14

Today we see a lot of sin. We see a lot from our government elected, all the fraud, corruption, greed, dishonesty, and mediocrity from them. They do nothing for the people, only create 40 trillion dollars in debt for us and our future. They have all the status in the world, and also hurt our society, like many hateful professors do today pushing all their woke, DEI, CRT, Marist ideology indoctrinating our young people. It is sad to see. So many too, are godless. They do not know Jesus and make so many excuses for sin, trying to justify it all like killing babies. They care more about saving rescue dogs over saving babies in the womb, they have flawed logic, no common sense, and they let hate blind them, as if they are slaves for Satan almost, like some of the false religions we see today, they say the are about peace or prosperity, but never talk about sin, and push a lot of hate, vengeance, terror, evil, lawlessness, and wickedness. It is sad to see, like the ones behind the 911 attacks in the USA. If we want to be part of truly high social rank, it is all about following Jesus, and reflecting, forgiving, imitating, and loving like Him! This is what matters! We need to turn from all sin, have faith in the Lord and His will be done, and know His promise of life eternal in Heaven with Him! There are a lot of so called educated people, people with Ph.D.'s and doctorates who are elitist and think they know all, but if they do not have Jesus and make excuses for sin, hate, and lawlessness they are really in the lowest ranking individuals degraded by their sin, hate, and lawlessness! Like all those yellow signs say here where I live in Indian River County Florida, Turn to Jesus!
