Live Godly Lives
This entry was posted in For Pastors and Teachers, Quips and Quotes, Religion/Faith and tagged 1 Peter 2:11-12, Genesis 3:5, godliness, good works, prayer, witness, worship. Bookmark the permalink.
We must continue to stand in our conviction in the face of adversity. Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. When we get beyond this season, and I believe God has a time when this will end, prayerfully those who mocked and shamed believers will stand amongst them. God bless!

I keep remembering the end of the story. These are just chapters that culminate in something great for those who are following the Good Shepherd. Matthew 5:11-12

It is hard to live a godly life, isn’t it? There is, of course, our own sinful disposition that gets in the way. And you’re right–the world sees prayer and worship (marks of a godly life) as “naïve” and worse. C. S. Lewis likens the life of faith to that lived in an enemy-occupied land. So many Europeans (and Channel Islanders) would have understood how that felt. We have to be so careful living in the world; the world so easily sees us as targets. Which is not a call for Christians to be angry and vindictive but to be nobly loving.

The power of prayer is great more so than majority of people believe. It is prayer to our Lord God which brings about changes in our lives and others. Most people do not prayer they expect to be given without any commitment to God. I commit every day to God and the Divine. People look at us with contempt for the Light within us radiates what they are lacking. So continue to shine and stand strong within God as I am where I am and they are where they are through choice.

Great word here. It’s even harder to live a godly life when we allow society and the media to pollute our ideas about what a Christian life should be. We need to start with prayer and Scripture and build on that foundation.

Exactly, Michael. To this end, I begin my Monday morning prayers every week with Romans 12:2.

Spot on, Mitch! Each of us has to decide our citizenship every day. We are not offered the option of “straddling” the border between this world and God’s world. Or, as that brilliant theologian Ken Kesey once said, “You’re either ON the bus or OFF the bus.”
