When I act like a Christian should act, I’m well on my way to renewing my mind to Jesus.
When I worry about status, I have the fear of man. Same is true of having and maintaining pride and the pride of life.
This world can make us offensive, impatient, competitive, self-sustaining, worry, angry, jealous, insecure, unforgiving, and strive.
God: Don’t try to be something you’re not, dear one. Don’t be like the world. It will destroy you. If you don’t believe that, read My Word and see what happens to those who choose to be like the world. You’re Mine, and I love you so much that I died to make you Mine.
Thanking and praising God in all things (Ephesians 5:20),
Mark
Note: While we may not agree with everything a particular church or Christian group teaches or believes, there are times when we can be blessed by something outside the realm of our current understanding of God.
