About Being a Grandmother

             2 Peter 1:3, God has given Christians all that we


             need  to  live  a  godly  life.  Because  of  the


             indwelling  presence  of  the  Holy  Spirit  in  a


             believer’s life, 1 John 4:4 tells Christians that


             “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the


             world.”  When  Christians  disobey  God,  it’s


             because we choose to do so and not because we


             do not have God’s power to resist temptation (1


             Cor.  10:13),  and  many  times  Christians  will


             choose  to  compromise  a  godly  testimony  in




             order to be accepted by family and friends.



             Sadly,  most  professing  Christians  today  blend


             right  in  with  the  unbelieving  world  and


             unbelieving  family  members  and  therefore


             suffer no persecution for “righteousness’   sake”


             (Matt. 5:10), nor do they make any kind of an


             impact on an unregenerate world.  It’s true that


             Jesus  was  a  “friend  of  sinners,”  but  those


             associations  were  for  the  purpose  of  calling


             those “sinners” to repentance, not to “have fun”
