True Ministers of God!!

Good morning everyone!!! I trust you had a great day in the Lord Jesus Christ yesterday!! Isn't God great......God is good - all the time; all the time God is good!!!! What a great saying. Also, as Jo Anne tells me "Let go, let GOD!" Now, that is one we really need to think about and do.
My mind keeps going back to 2 Corinthians 6:3 "We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry." (4) "In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind."
I think about the shows we allow in our living room. People yelling at each other, killing each other, making others laugh at someone's expense, affairs, and so on. Then we let our children watch "cartoons" - cartoons that are not funny UNLESS you live in the world, with worldly views and attitudes.
Cartoons like South Park - children cursing; abc family is coming out with a cat show where they "mark" their territory by "peeing" on things; kids yelling at adults; kids covering their ears so they cannot hear the adults; and we could go on and on.
Is my ministry blameless? No, I have probably violated each item listed above and more. How subtle it is; it begins slow and before you know it, it is at full throttle. One joint ain't bad....then another...then another and then something stronger. One beer ain't bad....then 2..then 3...then passout. As the Bible states we are fighting a spiritual battle and who is winning?? Slowly items creep into our society and we allow it, then it grows. We reap what we sow.
I need to be in prayer daily....ASAP...Always Say A Prayer!! We need to be true ministers of God and are we??? Personal search here!!! I am not the ministrer of God that I need to be. Pray for me...pray for others....but first PRAY for YOURSELF!!! God wants us to come to Him daily, not just when there is a problem. Again, think about your ministry today, each day. Thank you for reading. Love you all.

Is your minstry blameless?????

Good morning everyone!!! I hope this is a wonderful day for each and everyone of you. May God bless your day and weekend. Many will be traveling and please pray travel mercies for them. God is good all the time and the time God is good. I am going to talk today about verses in Bible that seem to be talking to me and being my base of committment. II Corinthians 6:3,4 KJ “Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed. (4) But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses.”
II Corinthians 6:3,4 Life Application Study Bible “We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry. (4) In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.”
Okay, In everything he did, Paul always considered what his actions communicated about Jesus Christ. If you are a believer, you are a minister for God. In the course of each day, unbelievers observe you. Don’t let your (our) careless or undisciplined actions be some person’s excuse for rejecting Christ.
What Paul asked of others he demanded of himself. At this time, his thoughts were upon his own ministry and the demands he made upon it based on the principle he had just stated. ‘giving no offense in anything.’ Paul avoided doing anything that would cause someone to reject the gospel on his account –‘that the ministry be not blamed’- do not discredit the ministry. It is impossible for God to fully bless and use His children who are in compromises or complicity with evil.
Most important thing I do every day: TO PRAY THAT JESUS BE SEEN THROUGH MEYes, I do fall short many times, however, I believe this is one of the most important things I try to do. Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.
