For The Glory of God

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. 

                                                                                    (1 Cor 10:31-33 KJV)

Yup! We do have the right to do anything; but, according to St. Paul, not everything is beneficial. We who are of the body of Christ, should think first of what is good for others and not so much for ourselves. If what we eat or drink; what we do, would be damaging to others then we ought not be doing it. It is as simple as that.

I know that the world teaches us that we have rights. But, so does everyone else around us. As we're busy thinking about our own rights to do whatever we please; let us all consider how we might be trampling on the rights and the lives of others.

We have the right to do just about anything that we want; but, is that anything that we choose to do building up others; building up the body of Christ, glorifying God?

Whatever we eat or drink or do, do for the glory of God!

Pray For Peace Among The Elected

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

                                                                                        (Phil 1:9-11 KJV)

Here is my daily prayer (at least one of them): I pray that our elected officials might abound in loving judgment; that they would worry less about attacking each other and calling each other and supporters of their opponents names and get on with the business they were elected for. 

I am just very tired of the news again this morning. It is so devastatingly unrighteous and hurtful to the unity of this county.

God's Peace - Pr. J
