We must be peacemakers to be legitimate children of God:
“Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS, for they will be called CHILDREN OF GOD.”
– Jesus in Matthew 5:9
“Watching pornography will lead to Hellfire. Don’t get caught in this trap of the Devil. Lust is the same as adultery of the heart. God calls it a sin and in order to get lust out of your life, you will need to take drastic measures, but it will be worth it in the end!”

“So many people think they can play with sin and not be affected by it. Don’t deceive yourself! Sin blinds your eyes, hardens your heart and deafens your ears!”
Spiritual death happens one compromise at a time…
Don’t play with sin.

Paul made sure he was blameless & RECONCILED with one another, having a CLEAR CONSCIENCE, running his race to win:
“Herein I also practice ALWAYS having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.” (Acts 24:16)

Never put off saying: “I love you,” “I’m sorry,” “Thank You,” “I forgive you.” Tomorrow isn’t promised; say them today.
Be like the Bereans:
“Now these were MORE NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO SEE WHETHER THESE THINGS WERE SO.” – Acts 17:11
The heart is more than a pump. It’s Forgiveness Central…
“Don’t let the noise of the world keep you from hearing the voice of the Lord.”

Perhaps this is how many people think; though, I still don’t understand this mindset. I’ve always been interested in the truth, and when I’ve found it I only wanted to learn more, not go back into ignorance. We should all be lovers of the truth and shun ignorance to live in reality.
Paul in Acts 24:16
“Herein I also practice *always* having a conscience void of offense toward God and men”

Jesus in John 17
20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
“Someone has said that modern preachers have been able to do what the church has not been able to do for 2,000 years — make Christ appear dull.”
– Leonard Ravenhill
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
– Jesus in Mt. 5:9
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Gal. 6:9
“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.”
– Jesus in John 15:12-14
“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” – Eph. 4:31-32

“BLESSED … REJOICE AND BE EXCEEDING GLAD!”
Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
