Shame {Part 3}

Psalm 119:80 

"Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; 

that I be not ashamed." 

    The second option: Christians can seek to avoid their sense of shame. We don't enjoy it and believe it to be harmful to our sense of self. So through various means we talk our way out of feeling shame by making excuses, to make things fit, or to shift the blame. It is also possible for Christians to feel fake shame, which is fearing the condemnation of others because they don't add up to some cultural value system that is not even Biblical.

    For instance, some may feel shame because of a skin condition, their height, level of education, or their begin to become forgetful. all this is "false shame" because it is based on "false standards." The only way to deal with this is to deny those that go against God's, and refuse to measure ourselves by them. "Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain," (Phil. 2:16).
    My friends, shame is a necessary part of the experience of a Christian, because it drives us back to the "Cross," and we experience that our has already been removed. So that tells us that the second option doesn't work, because "shame" needs to be removed not avoided. There we have it. Both the first and second options are completely bogus.
Amen!
