Don't Give Them An Excuse - 12.12.25 - Good Morning Live

Adulting is hard. Spiritual adulting is even harder. In this message, “Don’t Give Them an Excuse,” we look at James 3:1 and the sobering truth that the world is watching our lives to decide what they believe about Jesus. We talk about the crisis of integrity in the church, why pastors and leaders face a stricter judgment, and why this isn’t just a “pastor problem” but a holiness problem for every believer. If you wear the name of Christ, your life is either giving people an excuse to reject the gospel—or a reason to believe it’s real. You’ll learn: Why faith without works and careless words destroy our witness How holiness sets us apart in a culture that normalizes compromise Why calling without character leads to collapse How to live in such a way that people see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven If you’ve ever wrestled with hypocrisy in the church, discouragement from scandals, or your own inconsistency, this message will challenge you—but also equip you—to live a life that points people clearly to Jesus.
