Thought of the Day !!
Don't speak evil against each other, my dear brothers and sisters. If you criticize each other and condemn each other, then you are criticizing and condemning God's law.
James 4:11 (NLT)
How many times during the week will we be given the opportunity to say something ugly about someone? How many times will somebody make us mad and "deserve" an unkind rebuke? How many times will we want to explode into a tirade of "colorful metaphors" when somebody messes up our order at the drive-thru?
We are given many opportunities to give in to anger, jealousy, envy and a whole host of other things that stem from hatred, which is what all these can eventually lead to if not held in check. When given the opportunity, will you give in to the temptation to speak evil against someone? Or will you rise above the situation, relying on the strength of God and remembering your own imperfections, to hold your tongue (or your thoughts if that be the case)?
May God bless those who have a desire to be blessings to others (even when they deem them undeserving).
In the love of Christ,
greg

Amen and Amen!
Great thoughts Greg, I'm including your thoughts in my newsletter. I'm giving you full credit of course! Ok so I was tempted for a minute to reword it a bit and call it my own, but doggone those ethics lessons, I just couldn't do it.
Well, John, I feel priviledged. I've never to my knowledge ever had someone quote me in anything before.
May God bless you and your ministry.
Same goes to you Art.
