Our freedom as followers of Jesus, the freedom to live by the power of the Spirit and not by law (Romans 8:1-4; Galatians 5:1), is a wonderful gift, especially when it is handled with responsibility and grace (Romans 14:13; 1 Peter 2:16).
Not being under law is such a sweet grace, but we want to pass that sweetness on to each other through service, kindness, and care (Romans 13:10).
Just because we are free to do something doesn't mean doing it is beneficial to our brothers and sisters in Christ or to those we are trying to influence toward Jesus.
Freedom gives us the opportunity to do things in love, not just because we are commanded to do them.
Love should be, could be, and must mean more than law.

Being disappointed and dissatisfied with life can stem from a myriad of problems. For many of us, however, these disappointments are symptoms that we have focused too much on ourselves and have allowed ourselves to become angry with life.
We have forgotten to count our blessings, neglected to give thanks to God, grown silent in our praise to our Father, and quit helping those around us.
Thinking of others is how Christ lived, and we are going to live for others if we are going to have a JESUShaped life.
When we follow his example, our actions make a difference in the lives of those we bless, and we find ourselves immensely blessed as well.
Let's get our focus off ourselves and look to bless our neighbors!

We all dream of living with grace and enjoying the eternal rewards that await us. But we often find ourselves hesitant about the tough lessons we need to learn to get there.
Our loving Father, with all His wisdom, knows that the way to true righteousness and a fulfilling life is through discipline and learning from our mistakes.
It is through His GUIDANCE and CORRECTION that we’re gently reminded of the path He’s lovingly laid out for us, so we can grow in His grace and become more like His Son.

It’s not always easy to handle this divine discipline, but the good things it brings are so sweet to our hearts and life-giving to our spirits.
God’s correction isn’t a sign of anger, but a reflection of His deep love. He doesn’t want to hurt us, but to heal us; not to punish us, but to purify us.

Unity comes from God's Spirit as we all draw closer to Jesus (John 17:20-21). As we are drawn to Jesus through the Spirit, we immediately find ourselves drawn closer to one another (1 John 1:1-4).

We want to be united so that our praise can bring glory to God and lead others to HIM. Unity is far more than a goal; it is a process through which the world learns of Jesus.
At the same time, we glorify the Father who sent Jesus to save us when we live together in unity.
Leading others to Jesus and glorifying God are what living for Jesus is all about!

Let's make unity one of our deepest passions.
