Had to share this Wednesday Word from the legendary CeCe Winans! Though this gifted individual is known for her vocals, she is also a co-pastor at Nashville Life Church in Nashville, TN, and preaches the Word of God. Most importantly, she is a Christian who stands ten toes down on the importance of righteousness, believing the age-old church adage that “Holiness is STILL RIGHT!”

That is clear in this video clip from her speaking at the Generations Live Conference in 2023.

Listen… a LOT is going on in the church these days — good and…. highly questionable. God hasn’t called me to share all of my thoughts on that (yet). What I will say is that Christians are called to look different from the rest of the world as children of God. People ought to be able to see our lives and actions and see GOD’S LIGHT in an often dark and negative world.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Romans 12:2 (English Standard Version)

Cece stood on this in the clip below, believing that we Christians have to stand for our faith and walk how God has called us to in the Bible. “With influence comes responsibility,” she shares “If you ever see anything that I’m doing or saying and it doesn’t line up with the Word, I need you to RUN.” The singer shares more in the clip below!

Admittedly, I still have my struggles with some bad habits, which I plan to get more into this year. BUT I am actively working on myself and improving daily. Because I KNOW that God has called me to be a light in this world for His glory, and I don’t want to dim that light and potentially deter others away from Him with my actions.
