Thing like, Love, grace, mercy, truth, hope ,faith, joy, happiness, fulfillment, satisfaction bliss... The list goes on and on... Whatever, is good, just, wholesome, holy, right and good, in virtuous things, or whatever is praiseworthy, or worthy of virtue, or true, lasting value...
Some of them in this list: Morality, good and bad, right and wrong, Ethics, Virtues...
Know what's important, and what's not, and just ignore the unimportant stuff, or pointless, or futile stuff, and concentrate on the stuff that is, or is not (important)...Thank you.

Sounds like good advice, thank you.Well, maybe just wait before hitting post if someone got you mad and then go back and edit. XD
There is a time and place for certain kinds of anger, over certain things though... Times when it should be expressed and (made) known...Well, maybe just wait before hitting post if someone got you mad and then go back and edit. XD

God Bless!
Yes, you do have to very, very careful, very careful... And wise, like you say... And humble about it... And very controlled, and in control, and not out of control...How dare you contradict my post!
I agree. But in those times it is better to choose words wisely. We always have to remember why we are bothering to respond in the first place. It is usually to impact the thinking of others. A powerful true statement cuts deeper than a clever retort.
I was thinking about God, and how how many people think it is or was wrong of God to get, or be, or express his anger...How dare you contradict my post!

But, it was and is not, when he does it...
God Bless!
That is one of things about God that stumbles many and keeps them from believing in him as a holy God...Well...
I'm certainly not going to to tell Him He's wrong XD
(sorry, having a silly moment)
I was listening to Deuteronomy today. And I have to admit, when i heard some of his judgements, and killing man, woman, and child, it never occurred to me that God was wrong. But I did think, wow, I forgot how gangsta God can be. XD
Like this post a lot, good advice and words for us humans...Trust in God that He knows what is best for you. Don’t worry and when times get hard and your facing trials use that as an opportunity to show God that you do trust in Him and you will be strong in your faith even thru the hard times.
Help those in need give to your brothers & sisters who are less fortunate. After you give to someone in need say God bless you brother so they know who to thank. By doing this you give glory to God. That person will know that you were sent by God to help them in their time of need.
Be compassionate and be a light to others who are still in darkness. Don’t be afraid to speak about the good news to nonbelievers. If they reject it don’t think anything on it. Just stay compassionate and continue to be a light in your actions. Don’t try to force the gospel on people who aren’t interested. By doing so you can cause a defensive reaction and push them farther away from Christ.
Don’t indulge in sin. Don’t allow peers to pressure you into it and don’t sin to be accepted by others. Refrain from sinful jokes. Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd. Be proud of your love and devotion to God but don’t boast about it. Don’t act like your better than nonbelievers or other Christians who stumble. Be humble.

Thanks for the reply.And might I add? Don't take things personally. I tend to 'get into word trouble' when I get too close to a subject... and that means I'm not leaving it to God and I'm trying to fix things myself. Now I do have a ministry here to help keep the site enjoyable for all... and there are those who find offense with my very being here... it's very difficult to rise above the fray all the time...
but that verse quoted is the very best imo not for judging others, but of my own edification
Think on These Things
Philippians 4: 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think on these things. 9Whatever you have learned and received and heard from me, and seen in me, put these things into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.…
