An influential catholic blogger who went by the name "Zippy Catholic" once said "The problem is you and the solution is repentance". It's a bold take but really helped me scour motes from my eyes before complaining about beams found elsewhere. Zippy's short axiom mirrors John the Baptist's tough love. I can easily imagine John telling Herod "The problem is you, and the solution is repentance".
Wow, thank you for sharing that axiom, Scoot. The truth must be shared without being water-down, but also without being sugar-coated. “The problem is you, and the solution is repentance” is a great example of that. Thank you for your comment!

Wow!!!!! LOVE THIS TRUTH!!!! Way to tell it like it is Lexis!!! Been walking with Jesus a long time and have seen the worlds ways seep into the church. Christians supporting Candidates that support the death of the unborn all the way to Birth, Tragic! Watering down Gods word avails nothing it is dangerous. I have recently seen a shift towards boldness in not compromising the Word of God. If an army watered down their mission they would never win the war! THANK YOU for being that example of Gods Love, Power and the way we should walk His word!!!! 👍😀🦅🙌🏼❤️
Beautifully said, Karen! It is truly so sad to see Christians believing in and supporting the ways of the world. It makes me think of how these lukewarm souls agonized Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane before His Passion. We must not grow weary and fall asleep during these times when Jesus needs us! We must stay awake, and like John, boldly proclaim the Kingdom. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. 😊
