    Who are we really? Ya know, when no one is watching?

    We live in a narcissistic world. A world of selfies. An age where anything we want is immediately at our finger tips: information, processed foods, sex, entertainment, you name it. We live in a world where bragging and embellishing is considered normal. (Didn't bragging used to be considered rude)? How is a Christian to navigate in such a world? If we indulge but no one knows, does it matter? What if I put on my nicest clothes every Sunday and Wednesday and go to church? No one has to know who I really am, right?

    Let's look at some clues from our Holy Bible. 

    What kind of attitude should we have when we give? (2 Corinthians 9: 6, 7) Should we pray and fast on street corners, or hidden away in closets? (Matthew 6:6) Will God accept you if you have one foot in church and the other foot in the adversary 's world? (Revelations 3:15-22)

    When Christ came to the world from heaven as a baby, He was still equal to God. He unselfishly gave up His position; He was not forcefully removed. My King came to be a servant, and as a demonstration of strength and power, He died a humiliating death. Let this mind be in you. For joy, the Spirit and His people should have one mind. (Philippines 2:1-11)Jesus's love for people did not keep Him from telling the truth, even if it meant offending them.

    To be a Christian means to die to my own agenda. (Mark 8:34) I must fully rely on God to change my heart. (Consider the promise made in Ezekiel 36:24-30) Btw, this isn't something we do on our own. God does this work in us. For example, it wasn't Noah who closed the ark. ( Genesis 7:16) God begins it, God equips us, God finishes it. God always has the final say.

    And why would a person care more about what God thinks than what people think? What is our motivation for God to change us? What profit do we get? (Continue the passage. Mark 8:35-9:1) Those who endure will receive everlasting life. (Revelations 14:12, Matthew 24:12-14).
