WATCHWORD WEDNESDAY: Heads Up

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility

value others above yourselves." ―Philippians 2:3, NIV

 

It's All in the Packaging . . . Or Is It?

Don't judge a book by its cover.

 

"What matters is not your outer appearance . . . but your inner disposition.

Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in.”

―1 Peter 3:3–4, MSG

Whither Thou Goest

And the two shall become one . . .

"By this we may know that we are in him:

whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked."

―1 John 2:5-6, ESV

Many Christians have what we might call a "cultural holiness". They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them. As the Christian culture around them is more or less holy, so these Christians are more or less holy. But God has not called us to be like those around us. He has called us to be like himself. Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God. ―Jerry Bridges

 "Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." ―Philippians 4:9, KJV

 Can you say, like Paul, "Follow my example"? Hold the bar high.

Following the crowd seemed like such a good idea.

 

 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads 

to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and
narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

―Matthew 7:13-14, NIV

 

How's the traffic?
