Just a few Tweets & a quote that I’ve been chewing on…

Thought: We are right to cherish God’s grace; yet, too often we cheapen it by our actions.  A while back, I posted, “If God meted out grace and mercy to me like i do to others, I’d be doomed.”  That’s something that is constantly on my mind…because I fail regularly.

Thought:  Though not a pastor, I “preach” or proclaim Christ regularly through the living of my life (actions, thoughts, words, etc.)  This tweet got me thinking about how we often live appearance-motivated lives versus being genuine.  We put on the desired/expected front of a “Christian” (which may deviate from the life Jesus actually modeled/called us to) and then expect others to model “us” instead of Jesus.

No man can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true.

Thought: Ran across this today…kinda tied to the Piper tweet/thought.  God knows the “real” us – even though we fool ourselves and others.  He knows and still loves…and forgives.
