Advice from and apostle

 Advice from an apostle

The apostle Paul wrote,

“And we urge you, brothers, 

warn those who are idle, 

encourage the timid, 

help the weak, 

be patient with everyone.  

Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, 

but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. 

Be joyful always;  

pray continually;  

give thanks in all circumstances, 

for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

                                                                  1 Thessalonians 5:14-18.

What the apostle Paul is saying here are basic Christian principles we who claim to need to follow. So the question I have for you is. Are you doing what Paul is telling us we should do?

Please think about it.

Advice from the book of Romans

 Advice from the book of Romans

The Apostle Paul writes, 

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.  

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.  

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.  

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.  

Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.  

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.  

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. 

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Romans 12:9-18 

For me what the apostle Paul is telling all believers in Christ Jesus here is strait forward.

Take a few minutes and read it carefully. Then ask yourself the question “Am I doing this”

Please think about it.
