You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.




Titus 3:2

 

 

2 To speak evil of [blasphemeo] no man [medeis], to be [einai] no brawlers [amachos], but gentle [epieikes], shewing [endeiknumi] all [pas] meekness [praotes] unto [pros] all [pas] men [anthropos]. KJV-Interlinear

 

 

2 to malign no one, to be uncontentious, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. NASB

 

 

Christians are to reign in their tongues and their attitudes.

 

Boasting and complaining and ridiculing are not to be a part of the Christians character.

 

No maligning, no slander, no gossip, no judging.The tongue is to be used for good conversation, not for the promotion of social sins. If you cannot get attention for yourself, if you cannot get ahead in an honest manner, then attempting to gain attention or to promote yourself through causing grief for others, is not the answer to your success or approbation in life.

 

Brawling, causing controversy, creating contention, promoting an adversarial atmosphere is contrary to good behavior.And yet you will find these characteristics, not only in society in general, but in legal proceedings or other settings that are supposed to be free of such things.

 

Whether you are a social butterfly, occupy a professional position, enjoy the limelight of celebrityship, or whatever, you have no right to promote yourself through public controversy, and yet you will find that, that is the favored and popular means of gaining attention and promoting ones self.

 

Those who promote themselves in this way, violate fundamental Christian principles, and those who watch and relish this type and method of entertainment, violate fundamental Christian principles, also.

 

How many magazines, publications, media shows both television and radio, or social clubs would be lost if there was no social controversy in society?

 

You ve seen the bumper stickers, Make love not war. But have you ever seen a sticker that says, Be humble, don t gossip. Imagine a world without evil. Imagine a world without complainers.

 

In every aspect of sin, you are either trying to hurt someone, or advance yourself by means of some illegitimate method, or at someone else's expense.

 

Fundamental Christian principles state that God will provide for all of your needs. And He has. He has provided you with a life, with an environment, with educational opportunities, with a talent, or an ability, with all sorts of logistical support mechanisms in this world, by which you can advance and care for yourself, or receive care, legitimately.

 

If you have to cause harm for someone, take advantage of someone, in order to advance yourself or to gain attention, then your advancement or gain is illegitimate and will eventually be lost.

 

God promotes through Christian principles, and when God promotes, it is permanent.

 

You are not promoted unless God promotes you.You are not blessed unless God blesses you.
