Memory Verse; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23
Zephaniah 2-3, Ps 118
True purity has been counterfeited by false sanctity. We can know, sing, repeat, and teach the Word of God, yet its true harvest may be absent in our lives, our homes, and our world. We must never assume that someone who is gifted verbally and has theological knowledge is spiritually mature. Sometimes that leader is a narcissist, working the system and the people in it to feed themselves. Diane Langberg, Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church
Our Gracious God, May our behavior be with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but empowered by Your grace. May our love not simply consist of word or talk but be found in deed and in truth. Remind us throughout this day that the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. May our lives be fragrant with Your love and wisdom. In the Name of Christ the Truth, Amen. (Adah Hutchcraft)
