Your Attitude Toward Others

[Pastor Dr. Michael M Sherrod]

In this ''dog-eat-dog'' word, there is a prevalent attitude of entitlement and greed. Justice is measured in the swiftness and severity of retribution. But I Peter 3:9-12 tells us we are to be a compassionate people, '' not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this , that you may inherit a blessing. For; He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good: let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil," Revenge, getting even, arguing, gossiping, criticizing, running your mouth, and lying forfeit kingdom blessing. Instead we are to be; In unity, compassionate, Serving in love, Doing good And Seeking and pursuing peace. God Bless You All, your Families and your Ministers.
