A kind word goes a long ways

I was at work and a person said something hard to me. I had two options that I could have done, I could have responded in kindness or in anger.
The average person would have talked back in anger but that is not right. The issue that we all have a sinful nature. Adam ate the fruit so mankind will do the wrong thing.
Christ came into this world and if a person accept Jesus then God will be in that person life.
I have accepted Jesus in my life so I have the Holy Spirit.
I treated the person that we was rude with respect because God put it on my heart to honor him.
We must start and end the day with honoring the Lord with how we treat others.
I am not perfect but this example is proof that Christ can change a person.
The verse of the day is Proverbs 15:1. Proverbs 15:1 says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

Do you fear man?

We always tell the little ones that we should not fear people but we are liars. We do fear people and we will go against the truth so we can please people. Many people are not their own people because their fear. If you know me, I don't care what you think but I will be nice to you. If I think that something needs to done or something I need to do then I will do it. I have done stuff before that would be red flags in the culture and people warned me. I am not to please man but God. I believe people will respect me, even if I don't take their stand because many will not do it. The foundation of mankind is built on the sand and soon will wash away and many Christians are built on this foundation. If a person is a believer n Jesus then know John 14:15 says, " If you love me, keep my commands." Are you following the Lord or the world's system? There is only one truth and the Bible says this.  Revelation 20:11-15 says: 11  Then I saw a great white throne and him

Are you ridin' dirty?

Even when the Lord knows the works of his people to be wrought in love, faith, zeal, and patience; yet if his eyes, which are as a flame of fire, observe them committing or allowing what is evil, he will rebuke, correct, or punish them. Here is praise of the ministry and people of Thyatira, by One who knew the principles from which they acted. They grew wiser and better. All Christians should earnestly desire that their last works may be their best works. Yet this church connived at some wicked seducers. God is known by the judgments he executes; and by this upon seducers, he shows his certain knowledge of the hearts of men, of their principles, designs, frame, and temper. Encouragement is given to those who kept themselves pure and undefiled. It is dangerous to despise the mystery of God, and as dangerous to receive the mysteries of Satan. Let us beware of the depths of Satan, of which those who know the least are the most happy. How tender Christ is of his faithful servants! He lays

Do you have a rude mouth?

Image
I will be honest about myself. My mouth can be dumb and say bad statements. James 1:26 says," If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless." I claim that Jesus is my all but my words can go against what I say. I am not alone in this area but I will not stay in this area forever. I need to repent from my sins and ask the Lord to change my heart. The heart will speak what is in it. Luke 6:45 says, " A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." Here is are other words that cut to the bone. James 3:9-10 says, " With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be." I t
