Did you wake up this morning and celebrate the opportunity to pursue righteousness? Or did the weight of world and personal problems push you toward unrighteous attitudes to start the day?

Whatever the answer, it is never too late in the day to seek out righteousness in attitude, behavior and action. It may require weeding out that which causes unrighteous influence.

Righteousness can only be found through a relationship with the one Holy God through the redemption found in Jesus Christ.

It’s never too late to seek out righteousness in attitude, behavior and action.

Seek God today. Seek the attitudes, behaviors and actions of Jesus.

A righteous day is sure to follow.
