6-16-2015. . . .HONEST TALK!
"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation." (1 Peter 2:11-12 KJV) As believers, we should always be cognizant of our behavior especially around unbelievers. One wrong statement or comment that we may feel is innocuous and innocent, could very well be the thing that causes someone to miss an opportunity to believe.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the people you allow to cross our path. Helps us to always be alert and aware of what we say and what we do! Amen.
Titus 2:6-8. . . . Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us. NIV
