What is wrong with a bit of juicy #gossip?  How fast and how accurately do these stories typically travel?  It is no wonder our courts do not allow hearsay testimony.  Just look at the telephone game where a group of people sit in a line and a message is whispered by the first person, who then whispers it to the second, and so on until the last person repeats the message out loud to the group.  Invariably, the more people there are in the line, the more the message changes through misunderstanding, biases, interpretation, or sometimes just mischievousness.  How serious does God take the telling of tales?  How much would your communication be curtailed if you were to ask the Lord before you repeated something you heard?  Even a new follower or a person seeking to follow Christ can filter their speech if they just apply three simple criteria.  This message was delivered in 1985, before the dawn of social media, but it is even more relevant today.

The LIVING GOD #COMFORT

Posted on by

 

Do you need #comfort?  My #wants and my #needs are sometimes intermingled.  I need comfortable shoes – I want an easy chair – I need a comfortable pillow – I want comfort food – I need and want God’s comfort...  “whatever was written beforetime was written for our learning, that we through PATIENCE and COMFORT of the SCRIPTURES might have HOPE.  Now the GOD of PATIENCE and COMFORT grant you to be like-minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus; that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  So receive one another as Christ received us to the glory of God.” Rom.15:4-7   “Now  may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us ETERNAL COMFORT and good hope by grace, COMFORT and STRENGTHEN YOUR HEARTS in every good work and word.”  2Thess.2:16,17

Whether you #humblebrag or just #showoff, be aware the Lord will deal with the proud.  But, is boasting ever ok?  Would it surprise you to learn that God himself boasts?  It feels pretty good when your boss brags on you. Just imagine how it would feel to have the God of the Universe to be proud of you.  So what are good things about which to brag?   And on the flip side, what are the bad or forbidden topics?  How can you avoid sinful boasting?  Watch what you are bragging about and which direction you are pointing when you do it.
