Stop the madness!!!

1 Thessalonians 5:12-18 And now, friends, we ask you to honor those
leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the
responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love!

Get along among yourselves, each of you doing your part. Our counsel is
that you warn the freeloaders to get a move on. Gently encourage the
stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their
feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And
be careful that when you get on each other's nerves you don't snap at
each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to
bring it out.

Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what
happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to
live.

Ephesians 4:29 Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.


We,as a whole, need to chill with this crap of dissing one another.
Talking about people, cursing them, gossiping. Chill. How on earth do
you think that makes Christ look to those who don't follow Him? And
then we wonder why the prayers for our friends aren't being answered.
WE are the light. So shine. Stop spreading darkness.

I understand that you are human and your feelings get hurt. People hurt
each other. Sense the fall of Adam is has become what we are best at.
But God has granted us the ability to forgive.

Matthew 18:21-22 At that point Peter got up the nerve to ask, "Master, how many
times do I forgive a brother or sister who hurts me? Seven?"

Jesus replied, "Seven! Hardly. Try seventy times seven.

Also please do not tell me it is just the way you are. God has given you the
choice to either be that way or be like Him. So you can say that all
you want but you are really saying "I choose the world."

Now please understand I am probably the worst at this but it is so
important not only to each other but to those who are not in the family
of Christ yet.

God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face and make you prosper.
