Respect People

JAMES 3:9-10 NIV 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.

It seems that respect has gone out of style. But God’s unchanging Word teaches us to treat people with respect.

Not agreeing with someone is no reason to treat them disrespectfully. Just because they are wrong does not make them unworthy of respect.

By His death for them, Jesus showed us He considers people valuable and precious. So, we should not treat people as insignificant or worthless.

Disrespecting people is actually disrespecting God who created them.

God considers this so vital for wives, He gave a specific command to respect their husband.

EPHESIANS 5:33 NIV 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Certainly, we should respect all people, but Scripture gives special emphasis to wives respecting their husbands. God did not say this to put women in bondage, but to help them.

A wise woman will enjoy the benefits, both now and for eternity, of acting on this command from a loving Heavenly Father.

MATTHEW 25:40 NIV 40 “The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

The world respects people who are rich, famous, and successful. Anyone can do that.

But how do you treat those who are thought to be the “least,” who seemingly cannot help you in any way?

SAY THIS: I will respect people because they are valuable to God and He loves them.

Should Christians Use Their Imagination?

2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NKJ 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Many Christians are afraid of using their imagination, equating it with evil. But God surely had a reason to make mankind with an imagination. Once, as I was thinking about this, the question came to me, “Why did God create man with an imagination?” I do believe He is the Creator, don’t you? And God did make man with an imagination. When I asked God if there was any scriptural support for using our imagination, it occurred to me to look in Hebrews 11. As I began reading the chapter I was shocked at what I found, even though I had read it many times before! Right in verse 1, faith is defined as “…evidence of things not seen.” I thought, “If it is something you can’t see, then it has to deal with the realm of the imagination.” People would say we were believing something that is ju...

Motives

PROVERBS 16:2 NLT 2 People may be pure in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their motives. Motives are important to God. God is interested in WHY we do things, not just in WHAT we do. Why do you do what you do? Is it to help others? To please God? Or do you live focused totally on yourself? These questions are important to ask ourselves. As First Corinthians 11:31 says, “if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” However, we must use caution when trying to judge other people. We don’t know their motives. PROVERBS 21:2 LB 2 We can justify our every deed, but God looks at our motives. We often justify ourselves, but judge others harshly. We may judge ourselves based on our good intentions, but we are only capable of judging others by their actions. So, we must be very cautious about judging others in a condemning way. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:5 NIV 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in dark...
