P.R.A.Y. to Be Genuine - 104

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode
I've been at the National Religious Broadcasters conference this past week. My experiences there made me think about people and how they pitch themselves to others. There's a time and a place for pitching yourself, such as in a job interview. But, I think as Christians, we have to be careful of constantly self-inflating or making sure that people around us know how great or wonderful or accomplished we are. We want to teach our children to be discerning about this as well.  

Our purpose is to elevate Jesus, not ourselves. We don't have to self-elevate because God equips us for what we need to do. We need to be living a life that is promoting and causing other people to see the Lord because it's not about us. We need to be teaching this truth to our children as well. 

 

I encourage you use to use the acronym P.R.A.Y. to help you keep your focus on God in these situations. Read the full show notes with links here:
