Hello PETCA posters,
After getting a few complaints etc.. I just want everyone to think carefully, and hold their emotions in check, before they post.
We are all suppose to be Christians so lets show some Christ-likeness in our writings.
If you don't agree with someone you won't win his confidence over by resorting to heavy criticism. Just succiently point out the facts in a logical and rational manner with the spirit of gentleness and love and if that doesn't work- walk away. See 1 Corinthians 13.
For my devotion today I read from 1 Peter 3.
8Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. 9Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
10For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech..."
15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
