Many times, when people fail, they do more than withdraw from church, they withdraw from God. Some-one here may have failed God miserably. You may have given into a temptation. It could be a single slip, or a recurring pattern. Whatever it is, I’ve come to tell you today: Don’t let it stop you! There is no person here that hasn’t sinned after they were saved. The difference is only that some run from God and others run to God. I don’t care what you’ve done. If you understand the Grace of God, and that His forgiveness is unfailing, that sin will actually motivate you to get to Jesus. Don’t let it stop you! In Luke 7, there were a woman, who was a sinner, coming in unto Jesus, and worshiping Him with unashamed and unabated actions. The woman didn’t care who was there, or who was watching, or what inconvenience or embarrassment it may cause anyone. The simple truth is: She was there for Jesus, and nothing or no one else mattered. She would not let the religious piety of the crowd keep her from her objective, which was to worship Jesus. She was not intimidated by the stares, by the glances, or the glares of those present. She came for one purpose. She came with Jesus on her heart, she saw Him when she came in, and nothing was going to keep her from giving Him the worship and praise that was in her heart. She was unstoppable. She didn’t let SIN stop her. She didn’t let the SAINTS stop her. Too many people sit and judge other people’s - not looking at them now, but looking at them back when. But I have come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter who knows what, and who’s sitting around trying to judge the way I serve God. Too many people just want to sit at the table - but I want to touch Him! And if that is you, DON’T LET ANYONE STOP YOU!
