Whine or Shine

Our actions, thoughts, and words matter to God. He cares about us, wants us to be holy, and works in us to make us more like Jesus. He also cares about the church and her witness to the world. When we’re obedient to God—when we follow the commandments laid out in Scripture, put other people’s interests firsts, and avoid grumbling and complaining—we grow, we benefit the church, and we witness to the world about our God. This week let’s remember that people are observing our lives. Other Christians look up to us as examples of what it means to walk with Jesus. Non-Christians watch to see how we act because of our faith. Let’s choose to be obedient.
