While faith need not be monolithic - it can motivate both voting behavior and character development - focus matters. A Christianity constantly looking for political answers to moral and spiritual problems gives believers an excuse to blame other people when they should be looking in the mirror.
When the focus becomes 'What would Jesus do?' instead of 'What has Jesus done?' the [conservative/liberal] labels no longer matter.
Do not worry about your career. Concern yourself with your vocation, and that is to be lovers of Jesus.
When you delight yourself in the Lord, His Word and His ways become the focus and foundation of your life.
To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Faith is a re-directing of our sight, a getting out of the focus of our own vision and getting God into focus.
All gifts from God are intended to direct our attention to God and create fresh affection for God.
The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality; it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.
Many times we say Jesus is first in our life, and i get that, but Jesus should not be first, He should be center of everything.
The gospel is not about a lifestyle that we live, it's about the law-fulfilling life that Christ lived.
People see only my actions. Instead, if I focus on Christ with thanksgiving, people see Him.
