Too many of us worry more about other people’s opinions than about what Jesus thinks. As a result, we stay silent instead of reaching out. This is uncaring, because if we truly believed that those who don’t know Jesus are heading down a path of separation from God, wouldn’t we want to speak up? 😔 Jesus didn’t hold back when searching for lost sheep. He came, as it says in Luke 19:10 (NIV), “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” He knew exactly why He was on earth. We are called to continue His mission. When we stay quiet out of fear or laziness, we fail the very people we’re supposed to help. Romans 10:14 (NIV) says, “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” This verse shows us clearly that people can’t believe in someone they’ve never heard of. If they remain in darkness, it’s partly because we choose to hide the light. We must remember Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19 (NIV): “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This is not a suggestion; it’s our mandate. Let’s pray for courage to set aside our worries about looking bigoted or offending others. Let’s remember that it’s far more loving to share truth than to stay silent just to fit in. Taking action can be as small as starting a real conversation with someone about faith, or as big as organizing outreach events. What matters is that we do something, trusting that God will use our steps of faith. 😇 Dear Lord, please shake us up. Give us the boldness we need to share Your truth. Help us to love others enough to tell them about Jesus. Fill us with passion, energy, and compassion for the people around us. May we not waste another moment lingering in fear, but instead trust in Your power to guide us. We pray this in the name of Jesus, the one who saves us. Amen. #Faith #Jesus #Gospel #Action 🙏

The vast majority of people in my experience that go to church aren’t Christian at all. Nowadays, churches feel more like middle-class social clubs than gatherings of believers striving to honor God. The atmosphere can be cold and exclusive, driving away anyone who doesn’t fit a certain mold. For example, you might walk into a new church only to be judged by your job, your clothing, or where you live. It’s not just off-putting—it’s downright wrong. Who would want to stay where they’re made to feel insignificant or invisible? When the first question is “What do you do for a living?” followed by a condescending look or remark—and then the person goes on to boast about being a doctor or engineer, implying they’re somehow better—it’s no surprise people don’t come back. This attitude isn’t Christian love; it’s a social ladder competition masquerading as fellowship. It’s evil. Scripture gives a clear warning against showing favoritism. James 2:1-4 (NIV) states: “My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, ‘Here’s a good seat for you,’ but say to the poor man, ‘You stand there’ or ‘Sit on the floor by my feet,’ have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” This scripture couldn’t be clearer. By treating people differently based on outward status, we become “judges with evil thoughts.” That’s a serious charge. It shows how damaging favoritism is, and it stands in direct contrast to Jesus’ command to love one another. The problem is this toxic culture that values status over the word of god. True Christianity calls us to love people genuinely, yet countless churches have become cliquey gatherings where professionals brag about themselves and belittle others. Instead of embracing every life that walks through the doors, they push aside the very individuals Christ came to rescue. The solution is to return to the biblical model of church: a place for broken, imperfect people to encourage and strengthen each other in faith. We need to repent of elitist attitudes, love our neighbors as ourselves, and remember that any grace we have received from God is unearned. When we focus on humility and compassion, we open up space for authentic fellowship and real transformation. 🙏 Ask yourself if you’re truly at church to serve God or just to keep up appearances. In the end, it’s our heart before the Lord that matters, not our job title, our clothes, or our social rank. Let’s stand against this harmful culture and build churches that reflect Jesus’ love. May we abandon worldly prestige and become communities of genuine care. 🔥 Heavenly Father, we call upon You, the one and true God, to forgive us when we look down on others. Soften our hearts and help us be welcoming to all, regardless of status or background. Guide us to love one another without expecting anything in return. Remind us each day that we are all equal in Your eyes and that we must reflect Your kindness in our words and actions. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. 🙏 #NoFavoritism #BiblicalLove #HumilityMatters #LoveOneAnother #ChurchUnity #ServeGodNotMan

Many conservative Christians in America have been led to believe that Donald Trump is a committed Christian, yet I urge you not to be misled. He has presented himself as if he stands for Christian values, but when we look at his words and actions, we see a glaring discrepancy. He appears more interested in self-exaltation than in following the example of Christ, and he has manipulated Christians into giving him their votes. The Bible tells us to observe the “fruit” in a person’s life. According to Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV), “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” These qualities are non-negotiable for a true believer, yet we repeatedly see Trump engaging in unkind rhetoric, promoting cruel or divisive policies, and belittling those who oppose him. Donald Trump frequently flaunts his religious beliefs to appeal to conservative Christians, at times portraying himself as the chosen one sent by God. He once shared a video proclaiming that he was sent by God. Yet true faith calls for humility and meekness—virtues noticeably absent in his boastful rhetoric. As Psalm 82:2 (NIV) says, “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?” We should ask ourselves whether his policies uphold justice or lean toward injustice. Donald Trump’s actions mirror the kind of leaders the psalmist warned about—those who assert authority while neglecting true righteousness. Even if he insists he is a Christian, we must discern whether his life and choices align with Jesus’s example. Does he protect the vulnerable, or does he cast them aside? Does he act with generosity, or does he sow division? Does he live by biblical truth, or does he place himself above it? The solution to this problem is recognizing that authentic faith is evidenced by consistent obedience to God’s Word. We must look beyond slogans and examine a person’s deeds. Jesus tells us, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” (Matthew 7:15 NIV) These are strong words, but they urge us to be cautious. We cannot let the noise of politics drown out the Holy Spirit’s guidance or make us ignore actions that are contrary to the gospel. A humble heart that seeks God’s will over personal ambition is the mark of a believer, not empty words or political showmanship. Let us remember that true Christianity teaches respect for the downtrodden, compassion for the outsider, and fairness for all. When we see Christians being snooty, uncaring, or obsessed with personal status, we can be sure that we have drifted away from Christ’s example. We should stand against those who misuse faith as a shallow prop and instead honor leaders who genuinely live out biblical principles. Let us pray: “Almighty God, we ask for Your wisdom to recognize true discipleship. Give us discernment to see beyond words and notice the fruit of actions. Guard our hearts from deception, keep us focused on Your truth, and fill us with courage to stand for justice and compassion. May we remain steadfast in following You alone. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.” #Christian #UprightLiving #SpeakTruth #StayVigilant #FaithInAction ✝️🙏
