Ephesians 4:17\u00a0 <\/span>Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Romans 1:32<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Colossians 3:5-8<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. \u00a0\u00a0On account of these the wrath of God is coming. \u00a0\u00a0In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.\u00a0\u00a0But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Galatians 5:21<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We should walk in a different way than the world around us does. There seems to be consistency for Christians to portray themselves as not so different than the world around them. We are not to have a spirit of compromise with the world.\u00a0 <\/span>There ought to be something different about us.\u00a0 <\/span>When there is fear, worry, anxiousness, and confusion we should be a reflection of the light of Jesus Christ displaying, peace, joy, understanding, and love. What kind of conversations do we allow ourselves to get into? What kind of things do we say that we would never say in church?\u00a0 <\/span>What kind of things do we listen to or watch?\u00a0 <\/span>How do we treat others?\u00a0 <\/span>How kind, generous, forgiving\u2026\u2026 are we outside of church?\u00a0 <\/span>Sadly I fear that many Christians reflect they are much closer to things that are more worldly than things Godly.\u00a0 <\/span>Do we forget that in all we say, think, and do we are to honor and glorify Jesus Christ?\u00a0 <\/span>How much of what we think, say, and do throughout the day is accomplished without giving a single thought to honoring and glorifying Jesus Christ?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
