Short and Sweet

People don't care what you know until they know you care. In order to show people that compassion of Christ, we must first start by letting the Holy Spirit change us from the inside out.

I know we're always on the lookout to make sure that we don't commit the "big" sins- otherwise we might be a poor testimony to those outside the faith. So we go to the right social events, see R rated movies on the other side of town. We're so focused on the way our 'testimony' looks.

Don't over-do your faith!
Do not super-size your spirituality.

"Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant. If you puff yourself up, you'll get the wind knocked out of you. But if you're content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty.
Matthew 23:11-12 (The Message)
Servants don't show off.
