Devotional
We all have an innate hunger to be authentic followers of Christ and to dwell among an authentic Christian community. This hunger drives us to seek truth and love in our daily lives. Authenticity in our faith journey means living out the Gospel in real time, not just in theory. It requires us to continually examine ourselves, not others, and to strive for a balance between truth and love. As we embark on this devotional journey, let’s commit to seeking authenticity in our relationship with Christ and within our community.
