PUT THESE AWAY
Ephesians 4:31-32
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
Personal Challenge
The events in our recent history related to the politics of our nation become quite convicting as we read these two verses. We cannot claim to be followers of Jesus Christ in one breath and continue to spew bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, and malice in the next breath. We are commanded by our Lord to love our neighbor which includes the homeless, the widow, the immigrant, and every other person that exists. We are told to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, and forgiving. If we are not doing this to the best of our ability. then we are not following Christ. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
