Bible verses:
Romans 12:2
1 John 2:15-17
Let’s face it. It is a challenge to follow Jesus in a world that doesn't seem to care about anything, much less Him. If you want to follow Jesus, you will stand out like a sore thumb. But it is still important to make choices that align with biblical values. Ultimately, we have a responsibility to God alone.
"I'd rather be hated for who I am than liked for who I'm not."
Following Jesus takes one step at a time. The world tries to conform people to its ways, but Christians should be transformed by the renewing of their minds. (Romans 12:2) Reading and listening to the Word of God and Christian music can help you renew your mind. Be intentional about what you watch, listen to, and allow into your life.
It’s helpful when we seek God's approval over the approval of others. Not everyone will like you, and that's okay, as long as you are following Jesus. Focus on your own walk with God and don’t compare yourself to others. Be light in the darkness of a fallen world.
"Live for God by connecting faith and life."
