Do Good, Seek Peace,

Do Good Seek Peace
The Psalmist writes,

"Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 

Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, 

keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. 

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it." 

                                                                             Psalm 34:11-14.

Turn from evil, do good, seek peace and pursue it. This is a not only the call from the psalmist it is a call from God.
The apostle Peter writes,
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 
Dear friends,
 I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.  
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." 1 Peter 2:9-12.
So my question to you if you claim to be a true believer in Christ Jesus is; are you living such a good life among the non-believers around you that even though they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your good deeds and glorify God when he returns?
Please think about it.

How we preach it.

How we preach it
The apostle Paul writes,
“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  
They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 2Timothy 4:3,4.
The late evangelist Charles H. Spurgeon wrote,
“We are not responsible to God for the soul that are saved, but we are responsible for the Gospel that is preached, and for the way in which we preach it” Charles H. Spurgeon.
Put simply Spurgeon is saying we must preach the gospel message truthfully.
We should never take what it says out of context.
We should never twist what it says to make it say what we believe or want to believe.
So the question becomes,
If you claim to be a believer in Christ Jesus are you presenting the gospel message correctly?
Please think about it.
