Jealousy is not always proof of love.
Controlling who you talk to, what you wear, where you go, or who you can become isn't automatically “care.”
Love doesn't need a cage to survive.

You should know when your work ethics is crossing the line.
Until you stop compromising, you won't give God the allowance to flex muscle over your work.
If you lose your work or a relationship because you didn't compromise, THERE WOULD BE A BETTER REPLACEMENT.
The believer must learn this distinction:
Association is not assimilation.
Proximity is not participation.
Relationship is not agreement.
Influence is not compromise.
Presence is not endorsement.
You can maintain contact and not be contaminated.
#TheGospelOfInclusion
The believer is not called to withdraw from society, but neither is he called to become indistinguishable from it. We are called to enter systems without allowing the systems to enter us.
We often think worship begins when we seek God, but Jesus says the Father is seeking worshippers.
Before the worshipper ever begins looking for God, God has already been looking for the worshipper.
That changes the entire theology of worship!
Your body becomes the altar.
Your obedience becomes the offering.
Your life becomes the worship.
Your holiness becomes part of the sacrifice.
Your service becomes an expression of worship.
This is why worship cannot be separated from discipleship.
A person can be:
in church and not worshipping.
And another can be:
in a workplace, driving, studying, cooking, serving, giving, praying, obeying and genuinely worshipping God.
The building can facilitate corporate worship but the building doesn't manufacture worshippers.
Spirit without truth can become emotionalism.
Truth without spirit can become formalism.
Spirit + truth produces biblical worship.
That is the balance Jesus gives us!
