08 28 I Thessalonians 5.12-13 This one another passage gives a command to be at peace with each other. That sounds great, but with wars being waged all over the world it sounds like a pie in the sky dream. Every wants it, but in the end its pursuit is in all the wrong places. There is only one source lasting peace with each other and for eternity. Consider today’s message on living in peace with one another.
08 14 Colossians 3.9-10 It’s easy to do, lie that is. It comes naturally, sometimes without hesitation or forethought. At other times we don’t even realize we are or maybe we just don’t consider what actually constitutes a lie. Yet we are told in Scripture that as a Christian we are to put off lying. We are instead to speak the truth, but to speak it with love. Is this an area needing to be changed? Hmmm……
You don’t have to look very far to see that there are hurting people all over. Illness, death, divorce, injury, job loss, not making the team, not passing a class, an accident are just some of the reasons why comforting others is so important today. Life circumstances deal hardships in which people need to be comforted and we as Christians are called on to do just that. Scripture offers us some guidance on how to give it, and receive it. Let’s be people known for comforting one another.
