Life requires that we all set boundaries. If we stay open to everyone and everything, we will be swept into inner and outer chaos. However, true Christians are called to say no with kindness and humility — to set boundaries that are saturated with compassion and mercy.

True Christianity causes Christ-followers to radically love others. It motivates them to speak the truth in love, to bless those who curse them, and even to love their enemies. You will recognize genuine Christians by the fruits of their compassionate lifestyle.

Be polite. People are more important than your opinions. People are made in God’s perfect and eternal image. Your opinions are made from your flawed, self-focused, and short-term perspective.

Jesus calls His followers to humbly serve people. If you feel like you have to put people down in order to lift up and defend your opinions, perhaps you are insecure about what you say you believe.

Lean not to your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Ask God to give you wisdom (James 1:5) and revelation. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10) Be directly led God’s Spirit. (Romans 8:28)

Learn to let God empower you to speak, “not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.” (1 Corinthian 2:13)

Speculating about God and analyzing Scripture to make it fit your speculations (2 Peter 3:14-16) is subjective. Although God is beyond our human ability to measure, truly experiencing His presence, power, and reality is the most objective part of my life.

People can, and frequently do, forget what they hear or read about God, but when they humbly do the Word, Divine revelation flows (John 7:37-39) directly from God to them and causes them to hunger and thirst for God. (Matthew 5:6)

Faith without a firm foundation in life-changing experience and obedience to God, is only theory. (Jm 2:26) It is informative yet not transformative. (2 Corinthians 5:17) It is hearing about God yet seldom hearing and doing (Jm 1:22) what the Spirit says within you. (John 16:13)

No matter how high you climb in the tree of knowledge, mere information about God can never heal or satisfy a human heart the way that personal surrender to and obedient interaction with God does. (Psalm 46:10)
4
The lure of religious knowledge is often deceptive and can easily puff us up with pride (1 Corinthians 8:1) and cause us to think that we understand God and have no need to experience Him.

Jesus lived a lifestyle of obedience. He lived the way that the Scriptures instructed Him to & obeyed the voice of the Heavenly Father. We can too. To do the Word is to build your life on the rock. To merely examine, analyze & investigate the Bible is to build on sand. (Mt 7:24)

True Christianity is about self-denying, cross-bearing discipleship. It's not about politics! You can't find a Christian nationalist in the Bible. Try to and see! #FaithWins

God is light. (1 John 1:5) Never dim Him. Always let Him brightly shine within you. The world needs to see the culture of God's light demonstrated in and through real human beings!

Today notice a thought that tries to lead you closer to God, to humility, and to the teachings of Scripture. Let it give you light. Honor and obey that thought because it is a witness and a leading from God the Holy Spirit to you. (Romans 8:14)

Ask God to give you His light the way that King David asked for it. Frequently pray this prayer: “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24)

The worse blindness is neglecting or refusing to allow God to reveal (1 Corinthians 2:9-10) the light of His presence, power, and leading within you.
