“Settle Anger Quickly”    Matthew 5:25

When I see that I need to get something done, to put it off would be to work against myself and the cause of Christ.  We should hunger to learn and do the things of Christ, after all we are His brethren. If someone has wronged us, they need to come to us and make it right, but if they do not, then we need to go to them and get it right. If I’m treated mean and hateful, I must never retaliate. Because all of my rights are wrapped up in Jesus right now; and what’s right for Him is what’s right for me.

Self judgement is one Christian attribute we must have, and we must do it for our own good, and daily stay in practice. It is only right to keep ourselves pure in the eyes of God, and we have the Holy Spirit indwelling us to guide us in it. We are really too worldly to do it on our own, we must have divine help.

“Think It Through”

Has anger came and shadowed your heart?

Have you said, “I’ll stand up and take my own part?

But what would Jesus do? Have you thought it through?

Wouldn’t He, through the Spirit, Work peace in you?

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 ¶But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
