We are being watched
Matthew 5:19 says, "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Modern Christianity seems to encourage picking and choosing which commandments we will obey. When we are converted and become as little children we hear our Father's commandments and we wouldn't even consider defying our Father's desires. When we do the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin and we need to repent. Are we or do we know Christians who harbor bitterness against someone and yet bring gifts to the altar and want to worship the Lord? Maybe our sin is that we retaliate when someone strikes us or hurts us. Maybe we don't obey Jesus who taught us to love our enemies, and to bless those that curse us, and to do good to them which despitefully use and persecute us. Our actions or lack of action can be teaching others to do and not do the commandments of the Lord. We are being watched.
