daily prayer

     Good morning! How are we faithing this fine day? It is very curious that we profess salvation, of the grace given us, the unconditional love from God and yet we still talk smack about other Christians. If we as believers can't look for attributes and speak well of all our brothers and sisters in Christ, what makes us think non believers, who don't know this grace and peace we have, will?  We shouldn't even speak ill of ourselves and non believers. Condemning an illicit action is necessary but why do we call the person every name out there? I understand pain. I understand being stepped on hard, and so does Jesus. Did he talk about people behind their back? Nope. If he had issue he went to that person. If he knew of a sin causing something he addressed the sin and the spirit involved. Like we've said before, there are consequences for actions in a civilized society but we are not to be gossips, slanderers, back biters or finger pointers of individuals and condemners of persons.  Do you see this? Do you understand the damage caused by idle remarks? Do you realize once it flies out of your mouth, it can't be pulled back? Just think about it....



Tit 3:1-3
  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,   To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.   For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.


remember Jerry's Mom...


Heavenly Father,
  Thank you for the grace you have given us. Lord, help us be mindful of our remarks and of our view of others. Grant us the wisdom to say correct things. Lord we ask to not cause pain but to lift others up. Give us the courage to stand for truth. In Jesus name, amen
