I really like today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers.
Liberty and the Standards of Jesus
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made
us free… —Galatians 5:1
A spiritually-minded person will never come to you with the
demand— “Believe this and that”; a spiritually-minded person will demand that
you align your life with the standards of Jesus. We are not asked to believe
the Bible, but to believe the One whom the Bible reveals (see John 5:39-40).
We are called to present liberty for the conscience of others, not to bring
them liberty for their thoughts and opinions. And if we ourselves are free with
the liberty of Christ, others will be brought into that same liberty— the
liberty that comes from realizing the absolute control and authority of Jesus
Christ.
Always measure your life solely by the standards of Jesus.
Submit yourself to His yoke, and His alone; and always be careful never to
place a yoke on others that is not of Jesus Christ. It takes God a long time to
get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they
must be wrong. That is never God’s view. There is only one true liberty— the
liberty of Jesus at work in our conscience enabling us to do what is right.
Don’t get impatient with others. Remember how God dealt with
you— with patience and with gentleness. But never water down the truth of God.
Let it have its way and never apologize for it. Jesus said, “Go…and make disciples…”
(Matthew 28:19), not, “Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions.”
AMEN! The only REAL liberty is found in JESUS! John 8:36:36 So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free.

Shalom in Him!
