I don't think Christianity spread like wildfire because the first Christians were always angry with the empire or because they were excellent critics of an insane emperor. It spread like wildfire because they proclaimed JOY & HOPE & FREEDOM even when the empire set them on fire.
You don’t have to act on something physically for it to be sinful. I encourage you guys to be intentional with your thought life. Thoughts turn into actions.
Philippians 4:8 is a great verse on how we should think.
“When Jesus touched the man [suffering with leprosy], Jesus didn’t catch what the man had. The man caught what Jesus WAS... Grace is contagious.”
- Pastor Steven Furtick, ‘Fifty paces to grace’
