Putting Ourselves to the Test
Seele's editor points out that it’s so easy for us to think that we are good Christians because we tithe, bring a dish to the church picnic, volunteer, donate a coat to the homeless coat drive, sing in the choir and so on. And yes, these things are important to God because they are an expression/ a path of love, of the love that lives in us and the love that went to the cross 2,000 years ago. But, we must put ourselves to the test and see if we really know Jesus.
Keep Your Eyes On Your Own Paper
It can be so easy to compare ourselves to others, to be envious of another, and to try and emulate what someone else is doing. If we resolve to look at our own papers, to look at our own lives and not compare ourselves to others, then we won’t have any reason to look at someone else’s paper.
