How are we representing the Lord we claim to love and serve when we engage with others?
As adults, and more importantly as Christians, we ought not employ such immature tactics as guilt by association.
We all have a time in our life that we wish we could do over. But we aren't always promised a second or third or twentieth chance. How can we learn from this?
I expect to confront an element of deceit in the secular workplace or marketplace, but I do not expect to find it among my brethren or hear it from the pulpit.
Accusing someone of wrongdoing is serious. We must be certain of the truth and basis of our allegations before we verbalize them. And one lesson I've learned is that speculation is an extremely poor foundation for accusations.
In the corporate world, we often rally a team at the conclusion of a big project and share lessons learned. But why don't we do this across all areas of our lives?
With a new year, many Christians make attempts to revamp their study or devotional time. January 1 is the perfect time to open a new journal, begin a new Bible reading plan, and/or introduce a new devotional book into our routine.

Just because you or I don’t think something is important, doesn’t mean it isn’t. Just because the same scenario wouldn’t affect you or me in an adverse manner, doesn’t mean that it isn’t trying for our sister in Christ. As a Christian, we are called to bear the burdens of our siblings (Galatians 6:2), whether these be the burdens of mortifying sin and temptation, or other heavy spiritual and emotional encumbrances.
If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus. —Charles Spurgeon
By some reports, a male mockingbird can learn and effectively mimic more than 180 different calls or sounds over the course of just a few months. They are indeed adept mimickers. With that illustration in mind, we ought to consider the question: Are churches today filled with mockingbird Christians?
