Social Media formation

 Christians have long understood the importance of personal and communal spiritual formation. While we seek to be formed into someone more like Jesus Christ, we will often find other interests that are ready to take the place of spiritual formation and mold us to be less like Christ (Rom 12:2). What forces in your life do find influencing how you behave?

King of your heart?

The Bible uses terms like "thrones" or "reign" to describe control over a person. Rom 6:12-14  uses this kind of language to encourage us to avoid sin by acting like God is our personal king. Who or what do you treat like a king? Do you let something like pride, or personal achievement determine your actions?

The Bible condemns hypocrisy in famous passages like Rom 2:1-3, yet modern Christians seem to be known for committing this sin. Maybe the truth is, that we all stumble over seeing fault in others, without recognizing it in ourselves. Can you think of a time you learned that you weren't right, but had trouble believing it?
