This last Sunday we talked a lot about mission, and that God has brought us into the family business (since we are his children after all).  God's family business is mission.  Now, for those who know me, you know that mission is always on my heart, but since Sunday it is truly weighing heavily upon me.  I am so excited that our church is moving forward with the store front, and after a long discussion about why we're doing this after worship, I am pumped that we're all on the same page.  This new space is for the sake of the kingdom. 

This morning, in a Bible Study with Sarah, I felt convicted.  The verse was Romans 2:24, "As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."  Paul was talking about how because of some of God's children's poor witness, and their false teaching, and hypocritical walk with God, people were misunderstanding the truth.  It was convicting, because I realize how important my witness is to others.  If I misrepresent Jesus to someone, then it causes them to fall.  If I am a hypocrite in my actions, then it can condone my actions to a nonbeliever in the name of Jesus.  Now, I don't bring this up for any specific reason, rather, I bring this up, because on Sunday we saw how important righteousness is to God's mission.  I pray that we are faithful in our witness to others, and humble in our approach to righteousness.
