WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!

Hey gang,

How you all doing? I hope you're having a great week! I got this devotion from ZJam but I wanted to share this bad boy with ya as well!!!


“And when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.” Acts 11:26 (NIV)

You shouldn’t have to tell anybody you’re a Christian. Others should be able to tell through your actions, through how you live your day-to-day life. The disciples were called Christians, because they lived like Christ and it was noticeable. The world looked at them and saw Christ. They didn’t have to tell anybody. Could the same be said of you? Do people who see you on a regular basis know you’re a Christian? Do your actions reflect those of Jesus? They will know us by our sacrificial love. Loving each other, as Jesus loves us, is the root command.

“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV). Now keep yourself (stand firm) in the love of God, and then, love each other. You are a Christian, you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, you are a partaker of this heavenly calling…


Okay, does anyone else struggle with this? I know it can be hard to be a Christian in our schools and to our family and friends who don't know God but how is the world going to see what a difference having Jesus in our lives makes if they can't even see it in our own lives? If the world is going to see Jesus, we definitely have to live the life He's called us to live. I believe the most visible way of doing this is through love. Why not forgive those who hurt us instantly? Why not be a friend to those who aren't loveable? Anyone have any stories they want to share about success and/or failures in trying to show that they are Christians to those who don't know Jesus? C'mon, we gotta share our stories and support one another!!

Have a great rest of the week and I'll see you all at Soul Recharging at 7:30pm this Friday! PAYCE!!!
