Yesterday I saw a tweet (don’t remember where) someone was criticizing a Christian for putting up something Godly on their profile.
It really stayed with me cos I just remembered it again.
Saints, don’t dim your lights in order to fit in.

Our Model is Christ. Scripture describes him like so.
“who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;”
I Peter 2:23 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/1pe.2.23.nkjv

Okay so I didn’t plan a long thread. I am going to Work.
I know it’s hard. I know it’s annoying but don’t try to match petty.
JC said - love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.

Paul had that joy.

I don’t speak on trending topics as a rule but we must also know that we can’t lay aside our Christianity to just join trending gist.
Essentially and conclusively.
