How do we live while we wait for Jesus to return?
You’re called to walk differently.

WALK DIFFERENTLY:
1. Walk in PURITY.
Purity isn’t a punishment—it’s protection.
“What you feed grows. What you starve dies.” —Unknown
NEXT STEP: Unfollow it. Mute it. Unsubscribe.

2. Walk in SELF-CONTROL.
“Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” —Craig Groeschel
Self-control means: I could. And I won’t.
NEXT STEP: Set one healthy boundary this week.

3. Walk in HOLY FEAR.
God’s grace is not a license to sin. God’s grace is a reason to fear God rightly.
NEXT STEP: Set aside five quiet minutes. Get on your knees. No requests. Just reverence, “God, You are holy. You are worthy.”
“It is only the fear of God that can deliver us from the fear of man.” —Edmund Burke

4. Walk with QUIET PURPOSE.
Your walk with Jesus doesn’t have to be loud to be loudly different.
Mind your own business. Work with your hands.
NEXT STEP: Write down one ordinary thing you do this week and ask, “How can I do this for God’s glory?

How’s your walk?
