Real

"How one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God," 1 Timothy 3:15.

In God's household? Yep. Well. It speaks of real love, of pure hearts, of good consciences, of authentic faith. (Versus using the Bible to pursue stupid controversies). Pursuing personal morality, real to the Gospel. (Versus rejecting Bible teaching and shipwrecking faith). Men praying with hands lifted up in real holiness, not in rage. Women dressing up with real good works, instead of baubles. Elders being fit for real service, not with their own lives in shambles. Deacons serving in real faith, not for personal gain. Yes. Real in the household of God. That is, in the church of the living God. How to behave. For real. Sky kingdom.

With a brother or sister, today, we tell of our real life in Jesus. We press on in holiness. And, together, we give thanks that the living God makes us real, his very own household.
