I want to post a short blog - this may not even have one scripture in it, but as Christians, we know that what I am about to say is the truth...
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT, EVEN WHEN OTHERS AROUND YOU DON'T. Sometimes people will do things that you don't like, you may feel like doing what they do, and getting back at them. What does the Bible say? Romans 12:19-21 / 19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
I will be short in this message, but I want to encourage you as Christians that your light shines before the world. When you do the same hateful things the world does, they see, and your light looks identical to theirs. But if you demonstrate the love of Christ, your light will shine into the world.
I encourage you to pray through temptations and trials, and not be overcome of evil, as it says in the scripture. It is not that we are not to speak the truth - but we must love our enemies too. God bless you!
Okay, it is Monday 1-02-12! Happy New Year!
