Holiness is not being or doing better. It’s recognizing the purpose for which God made us and cooperating with His character being developed in us. #todaysverse #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

If you can forget it, you probably will. Forgiveness is for the things you can’t forget. It’s a choice we make because of who we are regardless of what someone else has done. #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

The way we’ve always done it; the places we’ve always gone; the things we’ve always been told—this is the easy way, the safe way, the known way. But going the way we’ve been before may not take us to where God wants us to be. #worththerisk #todaysverse #discoverYourAmazing #christ_life

Spoken of ancient Israel, this should prove cautionary for all those who claim to be God’s people. God will not aid us in behavior that doesn’t look like Jesus. #todaysverse #discoverYourAmazing #christ_life

Maybe a good reminder for us preacher-types. Our words are likely much less effective than we would like to believe. #todaysverse #actionsspeaklouder #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

Two things occur to me as I read this verse. 1. People can do some pretty despicable things with a clear conscience. 2. Paul was describing the diligent work of living the kind of life that would more likely result in a clear conscience. #todaysverse #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

Sometimes it’s good—even necessary—to pause to catch a glimpse of the glory of Jesus. But we will most often see Him when we are participating in living the everyday life of loving service to which He has called us. #todaysverse #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

Here’s an example of one of the unintended consequences of the evangelical focus on “witnessing” as an activity rather than “witness” as identity. For most of us, people are less likely to trust what we say until they see how we live and who we are. #todaysverse #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

What a hard prayer to pray! But such a powerful one! God, never let me neglect You in times of plenty or dishonor you in times of need. And may my words be true even when the truth is inconvenient to me. #todaysverse #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

“Success” in the eyes of God is not measured by wins, accomplishments, or acquisitions. It is measured by character—patterns of behavior and attitudes that are consistent with the ways of Jesus. #todaysverse #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

Does it seem as if Jesus is often treated more like a team mascot than Lord of all? #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing

The life of a follower of Jesus is not a formula, but it is a process: One day at a time. One step at a time. Seeking the way of Jesus. #todayshymntext #christ_life #discoverYourAmazing
