When “Good” Isn’t Godly
General
Devotions with Pastor Kathryn Week 3
May 20th, 2026
THE MESSAGE
Not everything that looks good… is Godly.
We are often faced with choices that aren’t clearly right or wrong—but require discernment between what appears good and what is truly aligned with God.
We are called to more than what looks good.
We are called to what is Godly.
THE TEACHINGS
Truth vs. Niceness
Ephesians 4:15
Truth may be uncomfortable, but it leads to transformation.
Accountability vs. Judgment
Accountability is love in action—it calls people forward, not just keeps peace.
Boundaries vs. Self-Sacrifice
Jesus set boundaries. Faithful love includes limits.
Cultural Acceptance vs. Faithfulness
Romans 12:2
We are not called to blend in—but to be set apart.
Righteous Anger vs. Sinful Reaction
Ephesians 4:26
There is a difference between Godly conviction and fleshly response.
Trusting God vs. Trusting Systems
Psalm 20:7
God—not the world—is our foundation.
THE TAKEAWAY
Don’t settle for what looks good.
Choose truth.
Choose faithfulness.
Choose what reflects God’s heart.
Pursue what is Godly.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to see clearly and choose what honors You. Give me courage to walk in truth, even when it’s difficult. Amen.
