"Uncomfortable Christianity" Pt. 2 | Pastor Devon Martinsen | Oct. 2. 2022

Ephesians 6:13  

  • Take up the full armour of God.  Stand firm!  
  • Belt of TRUTH - holds everything together.

What is TRUTH? Integrity.  Absolute honestly throughout our entirety.

  • This includes being open and honest about our struggles and weaknesses... fully embrace the face that we are not enought...our value increases when we embrace that Jesus is enough!
  • We need to be listening and spending time on things we've heard... often we hear things and know that they are true but we don't let them sink in...

We've all taken offense... BUT if you are a Christian, you gave up your right to be offended!

Remember, we are all just as broken as everyone around us and because we constantly need forgiveness, we constantly need to give forgiveness!

 

"I'm sorry for my response... for what I did, or how I made you feel..."

("My response is my responsibility")

 

*Take responsibility...apologize...be vulnerable...  then ask if there's anything else... be humble (is there anything else I'm not aware of?)  Then keep praying... do what you can do.  Accept the fact that we are all human and make the same mistakes as everyone else.

Listen:  "God, bring me humility, teach me... Accept that we need it, even if we don't fully see it..."
