| Word and Deed |
“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him” (Colossians 3:17).
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossian 3:23).
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). |
| All that which is not suitable for Christ’s presence is evil! Are the above verses too high a standard for us? Not if we really and truly value Christ in our hearts! If we love Him, what pleases Him pleases us. |
| Let’s be done with the negative question. “WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS OR THAT?” |
| Let’s get something positive before our hearts instead, such as, “WHAT IS THERE FOR CHRIST IN IT?” Before you speak or act, ask yourself, “Is it a word I can speak, in the name of the Lord Jesus, or a deed I can do for Him and His glory?” If you cannot say wholeheartedly, “Yes,” stay clear of it. |
