Believers don't live out of conscience because our conscience can be wrong and uninformed. We seek Christ and the Spirit's leadership through the Word of God to settle on convictions. #RootedinJesus

Do I want to be right, or loving? Am I more concerned with being right or building my friend up in Christ? Most of us are determined to be proved right, instead of loving others! #RootedinJesus

Love express the virtue of God's law or it is not love. #RootedinJesus
