God's Word for Monday, 11/13/17

Good morning, everyone. It's 5° F. here at our home in the mountains, and 1° along the river below. Stay warm and safe!

Make the Master proud of you by being good citizens. Respect the authorities, whatever their level; they are God’s emissaries for keeping order. It is God’s will that by doing good, you might cure the ignorance of the fools who think you’re a danger to society. Exercise your freedom by serving God, not by breaking the rules. Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government. 
1 Peter 2:15-16 MSG

Mostly easy to do right now. In spite of the last eight years.


Thank you, Reverend. Stay warm and God bless.

Rev. Paul said...

Good point, Linda; thanks.

Somewhat embarrassingly, it was 72 here today.

Thanks Reverend.

Respect... Sadly lacking in most places today... sigh

Rev. Paul said...

TB, don't be embarrassed by reporting nice weather. There's a reason why we go to Hawaii every winter. :^)

NFO, too true.

You actually chose to live there.

Rev. Paul said...

Ed - yes, I wanted to be here. But the Lord assigned us to this place, and this house, and we will remain until He says otherwise. :)
