1.29-"Always tell the truth. Always."

 1.29-

I asked a man who I consider one of the most successful men I have ever known this question, "What is your most important life principle?"
"Always tell the truth. Always."

Colossians 3.

3 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 [a]Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

5 Therefore, [b]treat the parts of your earthly body as dead to sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which [c]amounts to idolatry. 6 For it is because of these things that the wrath of God is coming [d]upon the [e]sons of disobedience, 7 and in them you also once walked, when you were living [f]in them. 8 But now you also, rid yourselves of all of them: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene speech from your mouth. 9 [g]Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old [h]self with its evil practices, 10 and have put on the new self, which is being [i]renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it— 11 a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [j]barbarian, [k]Scythian, slave, and free, but Christ is all, and in all.

8.31- You can find someone to tell you what you want to hear.

 8.31- You can find someone to tell you what you want to hear. RIt could be a palm reader. It could be an astrologer. It could be a crooked peddler of expensive vitamins. It could be a televangist who sells you a packet of water for a $10 donation. You  will not overcome the reality that it is appointed once to man to die and then comes the judgement. How we live in this life has consequences in the next life. Jesus teaches that those who are adopted into the family of God will not be condemned in the next life. What  a promise. 8  Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,   2  because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you [ a ]  free from the law of sin and death.   3  For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, [ b ]  God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. [ c ]...

 8.26- God expects His children to forgive people who say they have repented and to do so over and over. He certainly is a forgiving God. He has great love and patience with His children. He is compassionate. He is gracious. he is slow to anger.  He is abounding in love. He is abounding in faithfulness.  Exodus 34 4  So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the  Lord  had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.   5  Then the  Lord  came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the  Lord .   6  And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The  Lord , the  Lord , the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness,   7  maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave ...

8.19- If we suffer for doing wrong things that is normal and teaches us to stop doing that.

 8.19- If we suffer for doing wrong things that is normal and teaches us to stop doing that. Murder or even anger and hate are not proper for us. Embezelling, shoplifting and all stealing causes fine, jail and other trouble. Mature people we are taught to not even be "meddler" or "busybody in other people's business." God help us to Stay in our own lane. And Keep our eyes on your own paper. Let us Be quick to hear and slow to speak. I need to quit judging people start loving people instead. Now if we do right and get suffering for doing right then we can have joy in that suferrig. 1 Peter 4 15  If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.   16  However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
