We are called to be different!

Not all believers are at the same place in there walk with Christ. Some are
just coming out of the world, others have been out the world for a while,
and then there are some that go back and forth. The words that we say or
type, the pictures that we share and post, have the ability to take someone
back down the road that they have been fighting to get away from. We are
called to be different, *James 3:10 Out of the same mouth come both
blessing and cursing. These things, my brothers, should not be this way
[for we have a moral obligation to speak in a manner that reflects our fear
of God and profound respect for His precepts].* It is easy to go back where
we came from for some, because many of us were in the world longer than we
have been Christians. Brethren, may we pray before we speak, post, or show
pictures, because God knows the motives of our hearts. We must look out the
each other as it says in *Romans 14:13 Then let us not criticize one
another anymore, but rather determine this—not to put an obstacle or a
stumbling block or a source of temptation in another believer’s way..* May
we never lead a brother or sister to stumble because of our worldly use of
communication or behavior. May we truly understand the fear of the Lord,
respect His precepts, and love His children enough to watch out for them.
In Jesus precious and powerful name, amen.
