Ephesians 4:15
Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. —
Speaking the truth is hard enough. You mean I have to do it in love? Yes, if I am to be Christ's man or woman, I must speak to others as he did.
James 1:19
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. —
Have a brake on your tongue; hit the throttle on your ears. Let your angry email sit three days before responding and make sure you read it and edit it before you send it. Keep you mouth shut and your ears open. They all say the same thing. Now if we would just do it, wouldn't the Christian community so much more blessed!
Thoughts
. A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do; all we have to do is to enter into it. - Dwight L. Moody
. How easy is pen-and-paper piety! I will not say it costs nothing; but it is far cheaper to work one’s head than one’s heart to goodness. I can write a hundred meditations sooner than subdue the least sin in my soul. - Thomas Fuller
