Stepping Up and Walking In Love
One of the young people confirming their faith today, observed that it was great to hear the Christian stories of the other confirmees. We often don’t take the time to share our stories. Particularly, we tend to file away the stories of how we came to follow Jesus or how He is currently working in our life.
We are reminded in Ephesians, that the world which ignores God has really lost the plot. They are darkened in their understanding, ignorant, hard of heart, callous, greedy, impure and corrupt. It sounds like an edition of Today Tonight or the Jerry Springer Show.
Into this world we need to follow the examples of our Confirmees;
- Alex B
- Emily B
- Karina L
- Esther P
- Liam S
… and step up to speak the truth. We need to walk in God‚Äôs ways and live lives of integrity, love and forgiveness. We need to tell the stories of how God forgives us in Christ. We need to live tender hearted, forgiving lives based on Christ. Such lives will make a difference! Praise God!
