TEXT:
Romans 12:1-2
1.
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary
life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and
place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best
thing you can do for him.
2.
Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even
thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside
out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it.
Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of
immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in
you.
(The
Message Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
CHRISTIAN ETHICS
Doing what is right
does not seem to be important to people in today’s world. They prefer to do
things that seem right to them, even if they are intrinsically wrong. Since
they can provide a logical reason, they go ahead and do whatever they like.
Today’s world has
created its own philosophy. But we must battle it as we work to maintain the
values that will make a difference. Some say that “the meaning of dance is in
the dancing of it and the meaning of Christian life is in the living of it.”
We can only bring out
something that is meaningful to our lives and society when we experience the
real spiritual life which is only possible when we build Christian ethics.
Our work ethic,
patriotism, etc, will change for the better when they are christened. Then, we
shall be able to live to please the Lord. We should go out today with a burning
desire to make a difference.
QUESTION:
How have you contributed to destroying society by the things you do?
PRAYER:
Help me, dear Lord, to change my attitude towards life so as to make an impact
for You, in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
