“Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” ~Matthew 5:16
My Featured Blogger this week is Gina Cash of On Scripture. Gina, who shares this site with her sister Lisa, describes herself as “a seeker of truth” who is “Berean by nature.” The Bereans, you may recall, are described in Acts 17:11 as “noble-minded” seekers who “received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily to see if these teachings were true.” Visit Gina at On Scripture and you’ll soon discover how aptly she has adopted the term.

“Don’t shine so that others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him.”

I haven’t heard of “humblebrag.” Is that another way of saying “false modesty”?
Sort of, Liz. From Dictionary.com: “An ostensibly modest or self-deprecating statement whose actual purpose is to draw attention to something of which one is proud.”
That’s what I thought. I think “humblebrag” is a good word for that behavior.
acts 17:13 i can do all things
matthew 5:41 extra mile
Well, Matthew 5:41 does include the words “extra mile,” Rudy. And Acts 17:13 does mention Berea, but the words “I can do all things” are from Philippians 4:13.
acts 17:11 was the quote on the page should say to hide the word to not sin
Sorry, I don’t know what you mean, Rudy.
i was uploading on today’s article on the scripture i was looking for you
💜 My “Light Glorifies” Goddess, Mother Nature 👩 Here on Earth EveryOne; the Elderly White Man in “Heaven” who has a Long, White Beard is Really Lazy just like Most Men who ARE in “Gods” Image…of course, if YOU!!! Create SomeThing as Complex as Our Planet in Six Days then Rest on The Seventh it’s Obviously a Shoddy Job; then “God” is Too Ashamed and Lazy To Do AnyThing about FIXING!!! It Up…so Goddess, Mother Nature 👩 , Picks Up The Reigns; then SHE!!! Does The Right THING!!! ergo, please Don’t DisRespect YOUR!!! Mother by Giving The “Father” ALL of that UnDeserved Credit while Entertaining an UnCertain Future in Hell, Purgatory or Paradise EveryBody, YOU!!! Deserve MORE!!!
…💛💚💙…
You have a very distorted understanding of Christianity, my friend.
💜 …and any other religion, cult, culture et al that YOU!!! would Care to Mention and Denigrate in The Name of Being Christianity SupaSoulBro like The Crusaders and for The Record Jesus Was NOT!!! a Christian; just struggle a bit with folk who follow blindly which is why Jesus was Crucified…on a Lighter Note; watch ‘The Life of Brian’ by Monty Python
…💛💚💙…
And why is it your think I follow blindly? Btw, “Christianity” is the common term for the teachings of Jesus, and so, in that sense, Jesus was not only a Christian (“Christ-like”), but the first and only perfect Christian who ever lived.
The light of God exists in every creation. Man probably loses its glow through his many actions. One should attempt in keeping that light bright within us so much that other’s can also find their way in that light.Amen🙏
Excellent! Thank you for this precious reminder on what His Light is actually for.
Wish everyone would read this!
Pretty cool.
Hi Mitch,
That is a battle in our culture, right? In lots of ways the Lord is working hard to humble America believers. That makes the pruning process even more important because maybe it’s too much about me and not Jesus.
In Christ,
Gary
Yep. American culture has, in many ways, grown into a cult of individualism.
Not that I claim to be immune to its influence, btw. Far from it.
Everything opposite of the US: united we stand.
Great post, Mitch. Thank you for sharing it.
Pretty cool
