More about being God's image-bearer

I now begin to define sin as anything that maligns, destroys, goes against, and attacks God's image in a person. I think anything that does not treat another human being with the dignity of being created in God's image and likeness is a sin against that person and their Maker.

Here's another fascinating story from Standing through the Storm.

In China, a Christian woman was in charge of security at a coal mine. The woman suddenly felt the Holy Spirit urging her to pull the alarm lever, even though there was no apparent reason to do so. Although everything seemed quiet and normal, she obeyed the prompting within her. The whole mine was evacuated as a result of the alarm sounding, but when all the men had assembled on the surface, it seemed as if a huge mistake had been made. Just moments later, the ground beneath their feet shook and a large section of the mine collapsed from an earthquake.

Because of this sister's sensitivity and willingness to obey God's Holy Spirit, everyone's lives had been saved. In addition, 400 of the miners surrendered their lives to Christ after recognizing that God had miraculously saved them from death.

Now, I will confess something to you, friends. I am thinking whether to get a call center job or keep on as a novelist. I have consulted the Bible, the tarot, my own logic, but not the Holy Spirit. I will do so now.
