Not Equals

These things are not the same:

Bible study compared to watching a few TikTok videos about Bible-related things.

Sharing what you believe about Jesus (aka Evangelism) compared to posting Christian stuff on social media.

A conversation with your full, undivided attention compared to a text message.

Doing meaningful ministry compared to offering criticism of a Church program you attended.

Giving sacrificially compared to throwing some change in the Salvation Army kettle.

Discipleship as transformation to be like Jesus compared to attending a twelve-week class.

One thing that is vital in our culture is defining our terms. Quite often, I say things and mean them one way. The people listening hear what I say and define it differently. Calling things by Bible names and having Biblical definitions is indispensable to the unity of the Church.
