In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens. -Daniel Webster

If you read history you will find out that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. -C.S. Lewis

Hey Fam,

Following the theme of last post, we want to continue to encourage you to “Show Him Off!” There are a lot of people who work in the community and many who are active on the activist front, all of them armed with the desire to change the world and make it better.

Are you one of those people who would like to see some changes, we are. Well the key isn’t found in protesting and yelling at people, the key is in letting Christ transform us and by reflecting God’s Glory and Love everywhere we go and in everything we do.

Let’s take heed to the verse from Matthew chapter 5, let’s begin to let our light shine in such a way that people are compelled to give God Glory. We have spent more than enough time testing and seeing how Grace works…it works fam, now it’s time to graduate and begin to put this grace in forward motion.

Let’s “Show Him Off” in all that we do, in every situation that we might face, the world is watching.

Think On it!

p.s. if you find yourself feeling weak, good, it has never been about your strength and ability…now that you are aware of your inability relinquish the controls and rely on His supernatural strength to work through you…and then watch and see what happens!
