Are you becoming more like the world, or is the world becoming more like you? Do you surround yourself with the world to the extent that it influences who you and causes you to stumble? Jesus has called us to live righteously, and that doesn't include imitating the culture around us. How can we take steps towards loving the world while not being of it?

In Christianity many people claim to be 'free in Christ,' while they hide their sin. What good does it do to claim you're free when you're not? In today's scripture Jesus challenges the religious leaders to step into true freedom. In order to do that, they need to step out of self-deception, be honest with Jesus, and then let Him set them free. Are we willing to do the same?

Jesus was very passionate about the temple being a place of holiness. He displayed huge amounts of emotion, and was driven to purify His Father's temple. Now we are His temple, so why do we think zeal won't consume Him when we allow darkness into our lives? Are we truly aware of the importance of being a holy sanctuary for the Lord?

We're not called to take the speck out of our own eye just for the sake of it. Jesus leads us into freedom so we can in turn lead others into freedom.

This week we're jumping into the teaching of Jesus to trust our Father in Heaven to take care of us. He tells us how valuable we are in His eyes, and from that place we're asked to leave our tomorrows in His hands. However, this is a topic that the western church at large has quite a hard time putting into practice. What would it take to make a lifestyle out of trusting Jesus?

If our goal is to please Him, He's made it very simple, yet it can be quite difficult. Jesus says that those who love Him will obey Him. His command is to love as He has loved us, so our love for Jesus must look like us giving our lives for the benefit of those around us; loving just as He loved.
