DON'T BEHAVE LIKE THE WORLD

{TRUE FAITH IS CLEARLY SEEN IN THE DIFFICULT SEASONS!!!} Beloveds, when we don't UNDERSTAND/LIKE/AGREE with what we deem as "UNGODLY ACTIONS," or an "EVIL PERSON," & we "REACT IN UNGODLY/EVIL" ways, what makes US any better- especially professing "CHRISTIANS?!"

When we BEHAVE in the SAME manner (or worse) than "UNBELIEVERS," we are doing nothing more than GIVING THE ENEMY THE VICTORY, as we are DISCREDITING OUR WITNESS FOR CHRIST! {Matthew 5:13-16}

We don't have to UNDERSTAND/LIKE/AGREE with a PERSON, or the OUTCOME of a situation, and we certainly have OUR RIGHTS to express how we feel,... BUT WITHOUT LOWERING OURSELVES TO "WORLDLY/EVIL" STANDARDS! There's a "RIGHT" and a "WRONG" way to handle things. WE MUST OBEY GOD IN ALL THINGS. But, beware of the way that SEEMS "RIGHT" to you....{Proverbs 14:3, James 1:20}

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT {NO MATTER WHAT, OUR GOD IS STILL IN FULL CONTROL?!} NOTHING HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF HIS DIVINE WILL/PERMISSION! Now this does NOT necessarily mean that He AGREES with a person or LIKES a situation, but that He plans to USE the person/situation to FULFILL HIS ULTIMATE PLAN, which is always for our GREATER GOOD!

Remember beloveds, GOD IS A JUST GOD (a God of love and mercy, but also a God of judgment and wrath), and HE IS GOING TO JUDGE us (believers) just as He does the unbelievers- and even MORE STRICTLY, because WE SHOULD KNOW BETTER! We are held to a MUCH HIGHER STANDARD Beloveds In Christ..., but from all I'm witnessing, I can't tell who is who?!

KNOW TOO THAT GOD IS WITNESSING (HE SEES/HEARS CLEARLY) ALL OF THE MOCKERY, FALSE JUDGMENTS, VIOLENCE, SLANDER/EVIL SPEAKING, ETC., AND HE IS NOT PLEASED! REPENT NOW & LET'S STAND ON THE WORD OF FAITH AS WE CLAIM TO DO!!!!

FOR THIS IS GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHO DESIRES ALL MEN TO BE SAVED AND TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.
