Home Altar for September 13, 2026

Take It Home

Reflect: Who you are in Christ dictates how you live, and how you live gives an account of who Christ is.

Share: My habits and practices are an account of Christ in me, not a way to make myself righteous.

Practice: Ask yourself daily: is what I'm doing, saying, or thinking giving a faithful account of our faith?

Pray: Father, I live and die as Yours. Teach me to use my freedom in service to the weak and to Your glory. Amen.
