Notice though that is not the Christian that condemns the world, it is the very word of God himself. I am in no way qualified to point out the guilt of another, and neither are you. It is the word of God that convicts and condemns the sinner. But that's only half of the story.

Being an adult is hard work. I have a lot of things in my life that I am responsible for: family responsibilities, ministry responsibilities, work responsibilities, volunteer responsibilities, social/ethical responsibilities...sound familiar? With all of these responsibilities in our lives, just juggling all of those balls can feel at times really overwhelming. For me, I need help...and I regularly ask my Heavenly Father for it. In fact, one of my most common prayer petitions that I take before the Lord (almost daily) is that he would help me to "steward well what he has entrusted to me." I love that phrase and if you know me well, you've probably heard me say it on multiple occasions. I think it most accurately encompasses what we are called to do as God's creatures.
