5 mental blind spots Christians should avoid By Choco De’ Jesus, Op-ed Contributor for Christian Post All of us have blind spots. They’re not sins; they’re part of being a flawed, limited human being. But they become sins when God uses someone to point them out to us and we refuse to admit them. It’s a sin when we’re comfortable with our preexisting point of view and we don’t want any new information that challenges it.

EMBARRASSED BY THE SPIRIT—DON’T EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES OF REVIVAL I tend to be “safely conservative.” I use The MacArthur Study Bible and read Spurgeon’s sermons. My father was an extremely hardworking man who grew up on a farm in Oklahoma. As a result, I was raised in a tough environment where crying was not allowed and emotion—except for anger—was rarely shown. In my younger years, I made fun of those who genuinely worshiped God.
