Responding Differently

1 Corinthians 4:12 – When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. (NIV 1978)

My Musings – Christians are called to respond differently to things than the world would respond. We are not to return curses for curses, to resist persecution or respond to slander harshly.

My Advice – Be a blessing to others, even those who wish you ill, learn to endure hardship and offer kinds words to all even those who slander you. Do not respond in a worldly, but rather in a Christlike manner.

I was raised in a Christian family and my earliest childhood memories include regular Sunday school and Church attendance as a family. I was taught that our Judeo-Christian values were not just a part of our Sunday routine they should be part of our character and influence all aspects of our lives. I was also taught that as important as these values were they could not save us. We must also be “born again” by accepting Christ. View all posts by thebrewisamusing
