“Constantly guys we all have our opinions and our differences in life..and we always will..Amen..but when it comes to serving Christ..we can’t get into this battle of who’s right and who’s wrong just to somehow prove a point..and in the midst of proving our point..what happens?..well, we begin to say things and act ways that is not at all Christ like..Amen..so in the midst of this proving a point so to speak..we lose and begin to lose our witness for the Lord..because people can’t understand how a child of God can be so mouthy if I can call it that..how we who the Lord has changed and set free is so full of anger and so much into proving something to someone else..Amen..and instead of being part of the solution what happens?..well, we become a part of the problem!..and in doing so we end up making things worse off then what they really were!”

“I think about the scriptures in 1 Corinthians at how it says..”Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal..And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing..And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing..for love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things!”..Amen..1 Corinthians 13:1-7

“For even the Lord Jesus when He stood there before Pilate..and Pilate asked Him..Are you the King of the Jews?..and the Lord said..Thou sayest..Amen..and He was accused of the chief priests and elders, and still He answered nothing..Amen..then Pilate said to the Lord..do you hear how many things they are bringing against you?..and Jesus answered not a word that the governor marveled greatly and could not believe it..Amen..Matthew 27:11-14..for the Lord wasn’t going to stand and argue over any of it..because it would have done Him no good really if you think about it..Amen..it would have changed nothing..because the people had their minds set already..so the Lord stood there and took all of it..never to try to prove to them who He was..and that He didn’t do any wrongs in which case He didn’t..Amen..but what He was doing was going about His Fathers business..Luke 2:49..He was Kingdom minded..He was on a mission from the throne room..Amen!”

“Just as we should be..we should always be on a mission for the Lord while we are here on this earth until that very day that God calls us home..we should never stand and try to prove who we are to anyone if it is going to cause more harm than good..Amen..as I said earlier..let us all be a part of the solution and not the problem..we don’t have to entertain every conversation that people bring to us..and we don’t have to get involved in it all..by trying to prove who’s right and who’s wrong..because as well the Lord says that we should let our yes be yes and our no be no..anything more than that comes the evil one..Matthew 5:37..Amen..in other words our self usually gets in there and gets puffed up so we just start talking and rambling about any and everything..and before long we say things and speak words that never should be spoken..so I guess my question to us all is are we apart of the solution to make things better in our lives?..or are we apart of the problem?..do we even think about what were saying?..or do we just talk and say things just to make a point?”

“So the final conclusion is simply this don’t lose your witness for the Lord over proving a point or simply just needing to be right..Amen..because our greatest act of anything we do is too love..and love everyone..Amen..and if we are arguing amongst one another..then we are not loving..or are we loving well..Amen..so yes, they may be wrong..and yes, you may have lots to say in the situation..but sometimes guys it’s best to analyze what that conversation may end up looking like if you do start it..and then weigh it out to see if it is really worth it..for it tells us in the word that there is a time to keep silence, and a time to speak..Eccelesiastes 3:7..that we are too let our speech always be with grace, and seasoned with salt, that we will know how we ought to answer every man..Colossians 4:6..so don’t get caught up in the mess of trying to prove anything..because usually it ends not well at all..and then you a child of God ends up looking really bad..Amen..so be kind..be nice..be humble..choose to be silent..and choose to think about what your saying before you say it..Amen”

“Shining the light of the Lord in all areas of your life..being His hands and His feet as you go about your day..Amen..rising up above the ways of this world..and living it instead differently then what society in a whole feels that we should be..because to make a difference it has to start right here..right now with you and me..Amen..so I pray we all to the best we can to be a part of the solutions in this world..other than being a part of the problem..because we are a blessed and prosperous generation..so let us live that way..let us walk that way..and let us count our many blessings that the Lord daily loads us up with..Psalm 68:19-35..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
