One of the preachers at Falls Creek had a great thought for Christians who succumb to temptation and feel that they’re unqualified for service. He noted that often, when a Christian stumbles and sins, our tendency is to step away from service, worship, etc. It’s a natural and common reaction, but he noted that that that’s not what the Bible teaches. Certainly, there are some sins that might disqualify one from service for a time (my words, not his). Think of the “big ones”: adultery, murder, theft, etc. Depending on your area of service, those probably need some time away from, say, leadership roles, but not from the Lord. The preacher worded it roughly this way:

When Jesus died for your sins, *all* your sins were future sins.

The meaning is this: ALL your sins are forgiven, even those you haven’t committed yet. That doesn’t give us license to do whatever we want, of course (Romans 6:1-2), but, assuming it isn’t a willful lifestyle of sin, we confess, we repent, and we keep walking the walk. Paul himself was the chief of sinners, and he saw Jesus face to face. People stumble and fail. Dust yourself off, find a trusted Brother or Sister to help you, and press on. The Lord’s got you in His hand, and He won’t let you go.
