A Practical Sermon - Grow Up!

In a word, what I'm saying is, Grow up. You're kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you. Matthew 5:48
This is the conclusion of Matthew 5, the 1/3 of the sermon on the mount.
Grow up. Live who you are in the Kingdom. Generous and gracious to others, just like God. I hear in this "Stop being petty". People are important - treat them well. They are VERY important, more important than your stuff when you are sued. Purity isn't just a matter of our bodies, it's a matter of our hearts. There is so much in this passage - I need to memorize it.
