Do you think God can’t use a sinner?
In the lineage of Jesus (Matthew 1), we find only four women named. Two were prostitutes, one was an adulteress, and the other was from a foreign land.
Still think God can’t use a sinner?
Only one man in Scripture was described as being a man “after God’s own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14). That man (David) was the same guy who committed adultery and had woman’s husband put to death so he could sweep in and marry her himself.
Still think God can’t use a sinner?
Ever heard of Moses (murderer), Peter (denied Jesus three times), or Paul (persecuted Christians)?
Yes, God can use a sinner, even a sexual addict. And yes, God can use you.
Recovery Step: I leave you with three thoughts: (a) God can use sinners, (b) God does use sinners, and (c) God only uses sinners. Oh, one more thing . . . God can use you!
