Stagnant - at some point, in any aspect we will find ourselves stuck. One of the major contributors is the devil's temptation and accusation. When we play to the liar's tune, we will find our mindset and characters stops growing.

Hypocrisy came from underlying issues that we usually don't deal with. Insecurity, the need of projecting a false outward image, and fear of failure can drive us to live a whitewashed life.

We learn how to live freely, confessing our wins and weakness and leave denial, be authentic with our true design, and be credible with our commitment even when no one's looking.

Following Christ is like completing a puzzle - we cannot leave out one aspect just because we don't like it. This is the foundational truth about living with integrity, by looking how we speak, what we think about, what we feel, and what we do for those around us. 

The more we walk with Christ, not letting our character change would lead us to double standard life - one that full of hypocrisy. As church who were called out we need to differentiate compromise and tolerance - stop using truth about grace as excuses for our sin. 

There will be plenty of crap in a thriving environment - THere are plenty of marks of true friendship, one that we might easily miss. However, we can’t find true friends if we are not able to become a true friend that we should be, yet. Jesus shows us how, by laying down his life for us and called us friend. 

 Action, sincerity, and sacrifice - these are the mark of true love that might not be comfortable, but necessary in channeling God's love to those around us.

 We love not because we want to be loved, we love not to gain something, but we love even if we get nothing in return. This true love only comes from God, and not from ourselves. There is no  way we can generates this Agape love by ourselves. 

 Don't skip the process of loving God, loving yourself, then loving others. This is a commandment, and not feeling-based. In loving God, we got what we need to channel this love, first to ourselves and then to others.
