Do you deliberately avoid anyone who knows God more than you do?

"Some of You deliberately avoid anyone who knows God more than you do, who's more zealous for God then you are....you've deliberately chosen your friends because they're right at your level or a little lower and there's nothing about them that will challenge you to go higher...be honest..do a little self-examination..why do i have the friends i have.....does their presence prod and draw me to greater conformity to Christ OR does it leave me more smug and more satisfied and self-deceived with where i am?" ~ Albert N. Martin

This Christian life is...

This Christian life is one of continually putting off the old man with all its traits and putting on the new man. But our ultimate desire is not to be not-sinful but to be truly godly. We are not to aim at being not-sinful but to aim at being marked by Christian character. We experience the greatest success in battling sin when our desire is not only to stop sinning but to have our lives marked by the opposite character trait. The thief needs to do more than stop stealing; he needs to learn to be generous. The porn-addicted young man needs to do more than stop looking at pornography; he needs to learn to love and honor younger women as sisters. The angry mom needs to do more than stop lashing out at her children; she needs to learn to display patience and kindness. In each case the aim is not to stop sinning, but to be a display of Christ-like character. ~ Tim Challies

I am never ashamed to avow myself a Calvinist; I do not hesitate to take the name of Baptist; but if I am asked what is my creed, I reply, "It is Jesus Christ."
