As You #Preach, Focus On What's Important, #JESUS


3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Galatians 2:3King James Version (KJV)

It is distracting when people focus on other things than the Gospel of #JESUS, including me!

People tend to focus and make other people (especially other Christians) feel bad or feel like they are not Christians when they don't do things like the supposed Christians do!

For instance, some Christians are looked down on when they don't speak in tongues, fast, or wear certain clothes and many more. These things are important, but not an occasion for certain Christians to be placing #Judgement on others.

When you travel around, you realize cultures are different. What's important to one culture is different from what's important to other cultures.
Mission trips, which is more like evangelism, is really of utmost importance to Christians in the western culture. While to Christians in Africa, praise, worship, binding, casting, and speaking in tongues are held in high regard. If these two Christians meet, there will be differences. However, people should not judge but learn from each other!

We are all different and our cultures are different. Therefore, as we live our daily lives, what seems okay to someone might be a sin to another. Nevertheless, there are some things in some cultures that need to be abolished especially when someone becomes a Christian; worship or practices related to other gods should be excluded from one's life.

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:7-10King James Version (KJV)


GOD, give us the Grace to preach the gospel across different cultures and help us build each other up, than pull each other down!

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.”
Proverbs 10:12



We should let love overcome all that we do so that we won't base our motives on just dealing with people's transgressions, but preach CHRIST.

“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
1 Corinthians 13:13
