In my reading today I came across, “We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry.” 2 Corinthians 6:3. (NLT) It seems to me that this passage is extremely important in my life. One of the reasons people aren’t interested in our Christ is what they see in our lives. We aren’t radically different because of this Jesus we proclaim. We want to tell people our truth, but our truth hasn’t changed our lives. What’s up with that? Why should I want my neighbor to believe what I say about Jesus, if I’m not living out the teachings of Jesus in front of my neighbor.
I must come back later today to talk about this more. This is huge and God is speaking. Oh that I might hear and be changed!
