CHURCH TALK

Let's talk negativity, shall we?:




• SIN is negative




• Disobedience is negative




• Hypocrisy is negative




• Pride, stubbornness, malice and any unrighteousness is negative




• Prejudgement is negative




• Gathering together against someone; but not by GOD, is negative




• Feet that run swift to do evil is negative




• Setting a stumbling stone is negative




• Oppression without a cause is negative




• Muzzling an ox is negative




• Refusing to make amends is negative




• That which GOD calls EVIL in HIS eyes is negative









Attitude is subjective:




• What some call a bad attitude others call bold




• What some call arrogance others call confidence




• What some call manipulation others call "tough love" (remember?)









God has the definitive word, Those whom men label "tinkling cymbal," GOD uphold as "shouting aloud," holding not back even the sword from drawing blood. Whether it is done in love, only GOD can truly know. For what man knows the heart of another man, except that man and GOD?









The real question is have you done what GOD has instructed you to do? Are you walking in obedience to His Word? God says just because he has been silent for a while doesn't mean that he won't correct some things.









Open rebuke is better than love hidden or unspoken.
