we need to be bold and engaged!!!

2025/8/24 Edited to

... Read moreIn today’s complex and rapidly changing world, being bold and engaged in one’s faith is more crucial than ever. The concept of a "#NARROWSTRIDE" often arises in Christian discussions, referring to the careful and decisive path followers of Christ are encouraged to walk. This path involves adhering closely to God’s Word even when faced with cultural or political pressures that may challenge personal beliefs. Faith without action can lead to stagnation, while engagement rooted in conviction can influence communities, politics, and everyday decisions. Christians are called not only to believe but to confidently express and live out those beliefs. This includes tackling relevant societal issues, participating actively in community life, and standing firm in the face of opposition. It is important to understand that the "#NARROWSTRIDE" is not irrelevant or nonexistent; rather, it is a vital guideline for making choices that align with biblical teachings. When someone asks about the Christian stance on political or social matters, having a firm grasp of this principle helps provide honest and thoughtful responses. Being bold means courageously sharing your faith and values without fear, while being engaged means taking tangible steps to embody those values through service, advocacy, and everyday interactions. The hashtag #jesuslovesyou underscores the foundation of this call to action—it’s motivated by love, grace, and a desire to reflect Christ’s character in the world. Ultimately, balancing boldness and engagement equips believers to influence society positively, fostering understanding, compassion, and justice while holding fast to the narrow path set forth in Scripture.

What you need to know about being engaged
This phase in your relationship can bring up so many different emotions/experiences. Not a lot of people talk about this. It’s mainly conversations about when the wedding is, how big it will be, what you plan to wear, etc. But there is so much more to it than just planning a celebration. #lemon
