JAILED 4 SHAME
Pride greases the downward slope to destruction of BOTH the younger Christians and more seasoned members of the church.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Living in awareness of our vulnerabilities is humility. Taking action to minimize those vulnerabilities allows us to help others who are slipping.
Shame from stumbling or failing is crushed when one humbly accepts their vulnerabilities and does not condemn themselves.
An unrealistic view of one’s indestructibility is common when stumbling into situations that cause Father to frown. Therefore, REPENT of your PRIDE and SHARE another’s burden so that you may “obey the law of Christ” - Galatians 6:2.

Historically, each party has been passionate about their own issues, a tug of war of sorts.
I am Prejudice
“Don’t judge a book by its cover” is proverb often ignored as the title and cover-art are the basis of one ‘pre-judging’ a book.
In my case, I am highly prejudice in the food I eat. This was reinforced one day in a cafeteria where I picked up a ‘pickle’, chomped down on it, and discovered jalapeno peppers.
