Do The Right Thing!

Morning Bloggie! ^^


recently I received a newsletter on daily wisdom that I had subscribed to. hahas.. Orange really agree with the contents! Here's whats in it:


Sometimes we don't want to step on anyone's toes or risk offending someone by sharing with them information but God clearly says they need to hear.
("Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" Matthew 28:19)


if we do not want God to be ashamed to call us His children, then likewise, we should not be ashamed of Him and His word. It is not for us to judge His message as presented in the Scriptures, but to simply do as He has asked, for we are not here to please man, but God.
("On the contrary, we speak as men approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts." 1 Thessalonians 2:4)


When you care about people, you will warn them if they are about to stumble off a cliff. And, if you see an individual about to drink poison which he thinks is lemonade, you likewise make certain they know that sipping the beverage will lead to their sickness and demise.

If this is the case, then why are we often fearful and hesitant to share the truth of God's word with a world that so desperately needs to hear it?


Some people will accept God's word, and others will reject it. Doing so may cause us
to make friends, or enemies. However, truth is truth, and it is God's business, not
our own, for as the Scriptures affirm, "For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus
Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake." -2 Corinthians 4:5


Taking a stand for the truth, and doing what is right is not always easy. In fact,
in this day and age, it can be quite difficult at times because what God has to say
on a given subject may not always match with our current society's view.


For example, man may say that having a sexual relationship outside of marriage is not a big deal, but God's word declares adultery as sin.
("Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." Hebrews 13:4 )


Likewise, our friends sometimes may tell us its acceptable to lie, cheat
and steal, but is this really what God would have us do? No, it is not always easy
to do the right thing, but the rewards which come as a result are more than well
worth it!


Hahahas... today is wednesday! Orange is kinda free to blog today! wahahas... Orange just wanna end with this statement: "Its easier to be a salesperson than a christian... BUT the rewards we get as a christian is certainly MORE than a salesperson!" ^^
