Christians tend to wear "badges of holiness" based on what they stand against rather than reflecting the gracious, redemptive image of God by living out what we stand for.
-Mark Waltz, Granger Community Church
I am sitting here with my laptop, rereading this statement over and over again, because it strikes a convicting cord with me. How many times do I communicate the things I stand against as a Christ-follower, instead of relaying the grace that I have received as a result? Whew!!! This one has hit me hard!!
