MARK 2 – SICK
[W]hen Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:17
In this present age, many claims to be religious. They go to church. They play Christian music. They participate in church functions and events. Despite claiming they know God, they live no differently than the world. When Christians are to live in victory, many of them are engulfed in sin, living in a state of defeat, depression, and sadness.
This epidemic of “carnal Christianity” has sadly become the standard norm in Christendom as we observe a sinful ideology infiltrate the churches today. And how are the churches responding?… Small spiritual morsels of elementary bible devotions and superficial songs with very little biblical doctrine. While this is a good start, the house of God should be actively preaching against sin, holiness, righteousness, and accountability.
The results are apparent; a sin-sick church with desperately sick Christian children – manifesting very little spiritual fruit.
CHALLENGE
If you are a confessing Christian and living a cardinal and superficial lifestyle, then your diagnosis is likely that you are spiritually sick.
Christian, If you are in this circumstance, my friend, it’s time to give up. Stop fighting God and give up on Him. Give yourself to the great physician and let Him doctor your spiritual sores and shoulder your insurmountable burdens. RPF

This devotional to me says that those who claim to be religious or claim to love God must show it in everything in their everyday lives and not just in a church setting. This devotional to me also says that Jesus wants to help the ones who can admit they have sinned and not the ones who are already righteous. Meaning his main goal is to help those who need it, and just because you are sitting with the people who may have sinned dose not also make you a sinner. This devotional is very touching but can be hard to understand fully, I cannot say I fully understand the meaning behind it but to me this is what it is saying.

Funny enough this was the topic of this weeks sermon at my church. At times I do feel or find myself to be spiritually suck, it seems easy to get caught up in sins with all the temptations and distractions of the modern day. It’s important to stick with not only God but Christian friends and company that can support you in your spiritual walk.
