Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5 is more than just a verse—it’s a challenge. Paul is saying: don’t just think like the world, learn to think like Jesus. Now that’s a tall order, because our natural minds want to race toward pride, anger, and selfishness. But the mind of Christ leans toward humility, compassion, and obedience.

Here’s the good news: God doesn’t ask us to do this on our own. He gives us His Spirit to reshape the way we think. Every day, you and I get the choice—will I let my mind be filled with worry, fear, or selfish ambition? Or will I surrender my thoughts and say, “Lord, renew my mind so I can reflect Jesus today”?

When you start to think like Jesus, you begin to love like Jesus. You begin to forgive like Jesus. And you begin to live with the peace of Jesus. So today, don’t just let your mind wander—invite the mind of Christ to take over. It’ll change your perspective, your attitude, and your whole life.

You know, one of the last things Jesus ever told His disciples before He went back to Heaven was this right here in Matthew 28:19—“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” That’s not just a suggestion, that’s a commission. We call it the Great Commission, but for most of us it’s been the Great Omission.

Jesus didn’t say, “Sit and wait for folks to show up.” He said, “Go.” That little word is big. It means get up from your comfort zone, walk out your front door, and take the gospel with you to whoever God puts in your path. The gospel is portable—it’ll ride in your Jeep, sit with you on the porch, or walk with you through Walmart.

We don’t have to know everything. We just have to share what we do know—that Jesus loved us enough to die for us, He rose again, and He offers forgiveness and eternal life to anyone who believes. That’s good news worth passing along!

Friend, God’s not looking for perfect people—He’s looking for willing people. If He can use fishermen, tax collectors, and even a hot mess like me, He can use you. So today, let’s decide that we’re not going to keep the gospel bottled up. Let’s carry it, live it, and share it, so that somebody else gets to taste the grace we’ve already enjoyed.

Because at the end of the day, our calling is clear: Go. Teach. Baptize. Repeat. And in the going, we’ll find the greatest joy of all—watching lives change by the power of Jesus Christ.

Friend, let me tell you something beautiful out of Galatians 3:28. Paul says, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” That’s God’s way of saying the ground is level at the foot of the cross.

We live in a world that loves to divide—by color, class, background, politics, or preference. But when you come to Jesus, all those walls come tumbling down. At the cross, the businessman in his suit stands shoulder to shoulder with the farmer in his muddy boots. The single mom with a heavy heart is just as loved as the deacon with a perfect attendance pin.

It reminds me of those old church dinners on the grounds. Didn’t matter if you brought fried chicken or just a bag of chips—you spread it all out on the same table, and everybody ate until their heart was content. That’s a picture of the kingdom of God. We may come from different kitchens, but in Christ we’re all sitting at the same table.

So today, instead of looking at what separates us, let’s look at what unites us. If you’re in Christ, you are family. And family sticks together.

Because in Jesus—there’s no “them” and “us.” There’s just us. One body. One Spirit. One Savior.
