2 Corinthians 6:3 We put no stumbling-block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
There are times when we just need to put aside the things that others encourage us to do because they are not right. If we allow ourselves to get caught up in the ways of the world then people around us will see us as being no different than the rest of the world?
Would you like to be called a thief? If your ways are no different than the ways of a thief then you should not expect anything other than that from the people around you!
God wants us to give glory to Him. That means making sure that we do things differently so that He does get the glory and not the blame!
