REFLECT
Often times we look at our world through cultural lenses and believe that we are limited to the laws and rules of earthly kingdoms and forget the freedom that comes in Christ; that we aren’t limited in our love and care by-laws, Supreme Court decisions, or Executive Orders.
We need to be different than the world around us and by producing the fruit of the Holy Spirit in every area and aspect of our lives, we will remain in Christ and impact the culture around us.

APPLY
Q: Can these characteristics ever be legislated or commanded?
Q: How do you show this fruit in your life? Which are areas that you are intentionally growing in?
Q: Do you allow for the fruit of the Spirit to direct, guide, and inspire the conversations that you have with others when it comes to areas of culture that you disagree on?

PRAY
"Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us."
Father, please forgive us for the times when we don’t bear your fruit. Help us learn that your gifts are all we need to help bring peace, hope, and unity to the world around us. Remind us that life in you and through you is all we need. Amen.
