a word to all Christians...?

This isn't a question as much as a statement to your spiritual demeanor. My brothers and sisters I bring to your attention something God has brought to my attention. ANGER. Quite often it is our knee-jerk reaction to answer or ask questions with hurtful words. I know this because I have done it. Let us show The Spirit of Christ to the world through this medium of the web. The Bible says " slow to anger, slow to speak, quick to listen.". Let us all use these words of wisdom to calm ourselves and answer in LOVE and honest wisdom. I suggest writing yourself a note by your PC to remind yourself of who we represent here. I say these things in love that we may grow more like our Christ, showing all "the fruits of the Spirit." If you must answer in anger, then it is best for you not to answer. Give your answers as if you were giving them to a future believer because you might be!! I'm not your judge but I am your keeper, just as you are mine. God's Holy name be praised. God bless all of you.

    Brother, imho, this is God's wisdom and God's will.

    I guess this is not the first time He used you to do smt like this

    May God bless you and use you to speak His words of wisdom, in the midst of a world of madness and restlessness, in which even the children of God tend to lose our balance and adopt it’s practices and reflex actions.

    Greetings,

    If you follow what Paul says about the fruits of the spirit then not only are you emulating Jesus you are following the ROYAL LAW which states that you are to love your neighbor as you would yourself and this shows that you do love God. the love being referred to is "agape" and that is the highest form of love that can be given as it is the same type of love that God shows us.This is what should be aspired to and then worldly matters will dissipate from us as water rolls off of a ducks back.

    be ye holy, for I am holy.....:) completely agree with you, and keep up the encouragement, because you are commanded to in Hebrews 3:13, and many other places....Love from God is how people know who is a Christian, not by a cross, or a sign, or symbol, or by a prayer before eating...but by the works taht proceed out, full of love, grace, and truth, centered around Christ....stay blessed....

    Nice post...But that is easier said than done. I agree we need to be slow to anger. However, I can only deal with so much. Sometimes you gotta stand for what you believe, and sometimes kindness is not the best policy.

    I agree 100% totally with you. I haven't answered any questions out of anger. What you are saying is 100% true. God bless you richly stetson.

    Groo is always "slow to anger" but keeps his hands on his swords just in case.

    As an agnostic, even I applaud your recognition of the volitile nature of man, spiritual or not.

    Like what you had to say - however I think, as this is a place for questions & answers you should have ended it with a question like - who is willing to do this in the future?

    why would you report him Rodney? There's nothing here that's offensive or wrong its all with a good intention. He's just making a observation and its true. We should speak in love and not get fustrated etc.

    So happy to see , I'm not the only one who feels this way. I have seen alot of attacks from ppl about things they have no clue of. If you don't understand or have no clue about it then keep your comments to yourself. As christains what are we showing others when we say mean or nasty things to one another?
